My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.
Be like a tree. The tree gives shade even to him who cuts off its boughs.
Without an ever-present sense of death, life is insipid. You might as well live on the whites of eggs.
You’re going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it’s always their actions you should judge them by.
One’s entire life is a continuous process of learning. Any process of inquiry is related to learning. But basically our inquiry should be concerned with finding out what is transient and what is permanent. This is true knowledge.
Life without freedom is like a body without a soul, and freedom without thought is like a confused spirit.
