Life is given to us, we earn it by giving it.

If you're going through hell, keep going. 

The main purpose of life is to live rightly, think rightly, acts rightly. The soul must languish when we give all our thought to the body.

You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.

When you're a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you're not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You'll know it's there, so you're going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back.
