Aphorisms
“There is little point in trying to make someone like us if
they don’t. Either they always did or they never will. In
any case it is a conclusion that they must arrive at on
their own without our help or persuasion.”
“There is never nothing going on. There are no ordinary
moments!”
“There is no austerity equal to a balanced mind, and there
is no happiness equal to contentment; there is no disease
like covetousness, and no virtue like mercy.”
“There is no burden that is not enlightened by the sharing
of it.”
“There is no certainty in any opportunity.”
“There is no charge for awesomeness or attractiveness.”
“There is no coincidence, only the illusion of a
coincidence.”
“There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People
will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid
facing their own soul. One does not become enlightened
by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness
conscious.”
“There is no denying when something rings true in your
heart!”
“There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching
down and lifting people up.”
“There is no future in the past. No eyes at the back of the
head.”
