I would choose uncertainty with a chance of happiness over certainty with guaranteed unhappiness on any given day.

There is substantial truth in the saying “The bigger the fire, the more darkness it reveals”. For as our light increases, so does our apprehension of the darkness.

The highest form of truth is not spoken through words; it is experienced through being.

Dare to create your own rituals. Not for anyone else to follow, but for your own Zen well-being.

The wisest of all is he who knows how to be rather than merely exist.

Before knowing who you authentically are at the core you get to know who you aren’t. For knowing what we don’t want is a significant step toward what we do want.

Coming to accept our own shadow is an essential preliminary of the path to wholeness. Do not be afraid of your darkness; for once we trust the dragon and learn how to ride it, it will develop wings and take you places. You see, the dragon will somehow never cease to exist. Simply hop on and the ride will keep getting more pleasant with time.

The more you know yourself, the more you’ll love your own company.

Nothing too good can come out from people always agreeing with you.
