If the first inward thought is not warded off, it will generate a desire, then the desire will generate a wish, and the wish will generate an intention, and the intention will generate the action, and the action will result in ruin and divine wrath.

To finish the moment, to find the journey's end in every step of the road, to live the greatest number of good hours, is wisdom.

Whatever the soul is like, it will have to be passed on somehow, consciously or unconsciously, and that transition may be called education. ...

In other words, it is a truth, however sad and strange, that we cannot give what we have not got, and cannot teach to other people what we do not know ourselves.
