We should bear good will towards even a single grain of sand.
Trying to save the world out of a sense of forced obligation is falsehood; it’s enough if we simply feel an [overwhelming] desire to improve the state of things.
It’s common for people, acting from limited human intellect, to instead proffer unwanted/unneeded help, and to disturb the balance of things. Suffering brings understanding—those who from the beginning suffer not even the slightest hardship, will likely fail to advance spiritually.
Foolish to live in constant fear of the ridicule of others, and allow such worry to stifle your plans for action.
Though it is best to avoid troubling others, a great many people repress themselves for absurd reasons, when they should be looking to others for help.
By worrying and hesitating over meaningless things, you lose sight of why you were ever born into this world.
Because each of us is born with a unique destiny, if we exert all our strength towards self-perfection (in the good sense of the word), God will smile on us, and we will not fail in our life’s appointed mission.
In any enterprise, unless men first manage to work together, they cannot possibly achieve anything of worth.
Every person at one time or another believes he is the most miserable soul on earth. However, we should be silent and take a look around the rest of the world. We will soon realize just how many people there are whose state is worse than ours. Looking above, people without limit; looking below, people without limit—this we should clearly see.
My eternal aspiration is to travel to every corner of the earth, and observe every one of its sights and circumstances.
I find delight in change.
What we do not understand is best left alone. To force your way to a limited explanation, and then act as if you understand, will only lead you unwittingly to misconception, and later surely invite disaster.
All things are in constant flux.
The true way is to adapt to change.
Things appear chaotic, yet they are unified.
Amidst endless change and diversity, there are steadfast principles.
Environment makes the man. God makes the environment.
As long as you have an interest, you can accomplish.
Human life is the movement of the spirit.
