“A wise man sees the path all must walk and embraces the free will of humankind, even if to watch it unfold causes him pain.”

“But wise is the man who disdains no character, but with searching glance explores him to the root and cause of all.”

“Of all the paths a man could strike into, there is, at any given moment, a best path .. A thing which, here and now, it were of all things wisest for him to do .. To find this path, and walk in it, is the one thing needful for him.”

“We are all walking the same path, though it ain't some road scored in earth or sky or sea. It's the path of easing suffering, both ours and that of others, and we walk it till ever creature stands free of pain and lies, in unity with truth and peace, at last enlightened and made whole.”

“All paths cause pain, so to chose the safe over the audacious will not give you less pain, only less beauty.”

“A man must walk only his own path...Never another's or his feet will grow tired and sore. And he will feel lost even when he arrives.”
