There are words which sever hearts more than sharp swords; there are words the point of which sting the heart through the course of a whole life.
A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches and thoughts. And the consequences, whether good or bad of even the least of them, are far-reaching.
The man who asks a question is a fool for a minute, the man who does not ask is a fool for life.
The mode of living which is founded upon a total harmlessness towards all life forms or (in case of actual necessity) upon a minimum of such harm is the highest morality.
If one fully understands the present moment, there will be nothing else to do, and nothing else to pursue.
