You might say that we use ourselves to discover ourselves.
-Judith Hanson Lasater
The ultimate freedom from the nonexistent ego is to see that it is actually irrelevant.
Let every man and woman count himself immortal. Let him catch the revelation of Jesus in his resurrection. Let him say not merely, “Christ is risen,” but “I shall rise.”
No matter how adverse the circumstances are, never step back when it comes
to "performing your duties" or honouring your responsibilities. If the body wears
out, fuel it with the energy of the mind; if the mind also gets exhausted, pull it
through with the energy of the soul... But no matter what...finish the task taken
in hand.
-Deep Trivedi
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
Life is full of chances and changes, and the most prosperous of men may… meet with great misfortunes.
-Aristotle
