All know the way; few actually walk it.

All know the way; few actually walk it.

We cannot hold a torch to light another’s path without brightening our own first.
Any path is only a path, and there is no affront to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you.
The person who tries to stand still on the path will find that it has vanished.
-Robert R. Leichtman
The Eightfold Path: Right view, right aim, right speech, right action, right living, right effort, right mindfulness, right contemplation.
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
Man learns through experience, and the spiritual path is full of different kinds of experiences. He will encounter many difficulties and obstacles, and they are the very experiences he needs to encourage and complete the cleansing process.
You cannot travel the path until you have become the path itself.
We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.
-Paulo Coelho
To have a body is to suffer. Those who understand this, detach themselves from all that exists and stop imagining or seeking anything. The sutras say, “To seek is to suffer. To seek nothing is bliss.” When you seek nothing, you’re on the Path.
