Defeat ends when we launch into another battle. Failure has no end: it is a lifetime choice.
If you improve on the present, what comes later will also be better.
If we seek something, that same thing is seeking us.
If you conquer yourself, then you conquer the world
We make a lot of detours, but we're always heading for the same destination
I must have no fear of failure. It was my fear of failure that first kept me from attempting the Master Work.
I'm an adventurer, looking for treasure
True love allows each person to follow his or her own path, aware that doing so can never drive them apart.
When you have an intense contact of love with nature or another human being, like a spark, then you understand that there is no time and that everything is eternal.
If you act like a victim, you are likely to be treated as one.
We don't need to explain our love. We only need to show it.
Many times the wrong train took me to the right place.
