To follow by faith alone is to follow blindly.
-Benjamin Franklin
Success should be measured by the yardstick of happiness; by your ability to remain in peaceful harmony with cosmic laws.
The greatest comforts and lasting peace are obtained, when one eradicates selfishness from within.
He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.
-Benjamin Franklin
The soul that is attached to anything, however much good there may be in it, will not arrive at the liberty of Divine union. For whether it be a strong wire rope or a slender and delicate thread that holds the bird, it matters not, if it really holds it fast; for until the cord be broken, the bird cannot fly.
Earth teaches me to forget myself as melted snow forgets its life. Earth teaches me resignation as the leaves which die in the fall… Earth teaches me regeneration as the seed which rises in the spring.
