Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.

Deep experience is never peaceful.

You can choose your behavior, the world chooses your consequences.

Never deprive someone of hope -- it may be all they have.

Mental health increases as we pursue reality at all cost.

Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.

I am grateful for all my problems. After each one was overcome, I became stronger and more able to meet those that were still to come. I grew in all my difficulties.

Everything that happens in life is there to aid our spiritual growth.

Those who are skilled in combat do not become angered, those who are skilled at winning do not become afraid. Thus the wise win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win.

We must never allow the future to be weighed down by memory. For children have no past, and that is the whole secret of the magical innocence of their smiles.
