“Though you recite much scripture, If you are unaware and do not act accordingYou are like a cowherd counting others' cattle, Not a sharer in the wanderer's life.”

“Do you order righteousness of the people and forget yourselves while you recite the Scripture? Then will you not reason?”

“When you know that everything matters—that every move counts as much as any other—you will begin living a life of permanent purpose.”

“Whatever we accomplish in life, if it's solely for our own good, then it doesn't mean that much. The things you do that affect others in a positive way are the ones that count. Whatever facet of life you're in, God has given you a gift; do the best you can with that gift.”

“The thing to do was to act just like others acted, live like they lived, and while they were not looking, do what you wanted.”

“Do I have to recite any further risks you have taken? How much you have not conformed? How much internal bravery this implies?”
