Do not have an attitude, open yourself and focus yourself and express yourself. Reject external form that fails to express internal reality.

I don’t like to wear stuffy clothes and be at places where everyone is trying to impress each other.

One who is possessed by worry not only lacks the poise to solve his own problems, but by his nervousness and irritability creates additional problems for those around him.

If he knows how to meet fate with an attitude of acceptance, he is sure to find the right guidance.

It is not his task to try to lead – that would only make him lose the Way – but to let himself be led.

Do not seek “it”, for it will come when least expected. Let go. Don’t seek or run away.

Love is a egotism of two.

Real living is living for others.

Marriage is a friendship, a partnership based solidly upon ordinary, everyday occurrences.

Love, and you shall be loved – all love is mathematically just, as much as the two sides of an algebraic equation.

I think when a couple marry, they either go into heaven or live in hell.

I believe a couple should develop a kind of friendship. Linda and I have this kind of friendship. We understand each other, like a pair of good friends.

Without respect, love cannot go long.

Love is never lost. If not reciprocated it will flow back and soften and purify the heart.

I’m not one of those who believe in love at first sight, but I believe in taking a second look.

Absence in love is like water upon fire; a little quickens, but much extinguishes it.

Marriage is caring for children, watching over them in sickness, training them in the way they must go, sharing worry about them and pride in them.

Many young couples live a very exciting life when they are in love. So, when they marry, and their lives are reduced to calmness and dullness, they will feel impatient and will drink the bitter cup of sad marriage.

My wife and I aren’t one and one. We are two halves that make a whole. You have to apply yourself to be a family – two halves fitted together are more efficient than either half would ever be alone!

It is a well-known fact that one comes, finally, to believe whatever one repeats to one’s self, whether the statement be true or false. If a man repeats a lie over and over, he will eventually accept the lie as truth.

Young love is a flame: very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

I did love like a madman, but have enough sense to not love as a fool.

I cannot and will not “scoff” at faith when reason seems to be such a barren thing.

Faith is a state of mind that can be conditioned through self-discipline. Faith will accomplish.

Some people fight with others because they believe in different religions. If, however, they only gave the matter a bit of thought, they would never fight for such a foolish cause.

If all the religions were one, the world would be united in brotherhood.

To be perfectly frank, I really do not believe in God. If there is a God, he is within.

I have no religion whatsoever. I believe that life is a process and that man is a self-made product. The spirit of the individual is determined by his dominating thought habits.

Awakening, self-realization, and seeing into one’s own being – these are synonymous.

Faith makes it possible to achieve that which man’s mind can conceive and believe.

Religions divide people, just as styles [in martial arts] divide people.

I feel I have this great creative and spiritual force within me that is greater than faith, greater than ambition, greater than confidence, greater than determination, greater than vision. It is all these combined. My brain becomes magnetized with this dominating force which I hold in my hand.

The stillness in stillness is not the real stillness; only when there is stillness in movement does the universal rhythm manifest.

Discard all thoughts of reward, all hopes of praise and fears of blame, all awareness of one’s bodily. And, finally closing the avenues of sense perception, let the spirit out, as it will.

Live content with small means; seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion. Be worthy, not respectable, wealthy, not rich; study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common.

Unquestionably man has his will – but woman has her way!

To be humble to superiors is duty; to equals is courtesy; to inferiors is nobleness; and to all, safety!

If I tell you I’m good, probably you will say I’m boasting. But if I tell you I’m not good, you’ll know I’m lying.

If you make an ass out of yourself, there’ll always be someone ready to ride you.

Do not hold to what you have. It is like a ferry boat for people who want to get across waters. Once you have got across, never bear it on your back. You should head forward.

If you don’t aim at an object, how the heck on earth do you think you can get it?

The greatest source of happiness is the ability to be grateful at all times

You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.

You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

If you are not willing to learn no one can help you. If you are determined to learn no one can stop you.
