​

No possession offers as much happiness as the knowledge that it is unnecessary.

​

Kindness is victor over all virtues and certainly over any manmade measure of success.

​

The amount of perspectives is infinite. Tread with humility in the soil of conviction.

​

No endurance of an individual can last forever. The decision to endure can be made again. Moments of rest amidst heroic perseverance is perhaps the most natural shape of endurance all along.

​

There is little to gain in punishing yourself for a deed you know you will repeat. Ask your heart why it is breaking.

​

All things must wither at their own pace.

​

If there were a mountaintop after the sorrow of every valley, we would have learned to pursue the sorrow for the impending exultation. But such is not the nature of life.

​

Some company leaves us more alone than we were before, while solitude might have brought peace.

​

You exist entirely as you are outside of all constructs and understanding, even outside of the reality you have created for yourself. Nothing can remove you from the natural world. The sun, the rain, the mortality of your body and the infinity of your being exists unequivocally.

​

What is deemed normal should not be immediately dismissed in favour of the extraordinary. Normality can provide the field of balance on which the divine might come to play.

​

Do not trust people’s faces to reveal what is in their hearts.

​

What you have lost you may hope not to find again, for fear of losing it once more. Yet your heart might continue longing, not releasing you. Solitude might bring you to the garden where heartache reveals its mysteries.

​

A higher order of intelligence is not to have an opinion but to love those who do.

​

Those who roam in solitude find their picture of the world not rooted in the laments of the media, the dialogue of company or the unending labour of their hands. They find it not rooted in anything of the world, but a continuously transforming perspective of the most exquisite beauty and enduring heartache.

 

The requirements for participating in shared, civil life increases with time. Protect your thought and inner life as the only freedoms you may always possess. Do not pollute them with the frivolous or obscene, rather, let them amass in the sublime.

​

The true rules that govern the existence and continuation of life are not dependent on it. Life will continue even if all experience of it fades.
