“A man's actions are determined by necessity, external and internal.”

“A two-headed man should have twice the IQ, and the ability to have internal dialogues externally.”

“In suffocating the voice of conscience, passion carries with itself a restlessness of the body and the senses: it is the restlessness of the "external man." When the internal man has been reduced to silence, then passion, once it has been given freedom of action, so to speak, exhibits itself as an insistent tendency to satisfy the senses and the body.”

“External influences create internal chaos.”

“Effort, concentration, and mindfulness are the internal ways in which the mind restores itself from being out of balance and lost in confusion to a condition of ease, clarity, and wisdom NO external action needs to happen. [p. 17]”

“Discipline is a given; the choice is whether it is applied internally or externally.”
