“Of all the properties which belong to honorable men, not one is so highly prized as that of character.”

“Once again, we are reminded that awakening, or enlightenment is not the property of Buddhism, any more than Truth is the property of Christianity. Neither the Buddha nor the Christ belongs exclusively to the communities that were founded in their names. They belong to all people of goodwill, all who are attentive to the secret which lives in the depths of their breath and their consciousness. (14)”

“It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.”

“Water belongs to us all. Nature did not make the sun one person's property, nor air, nor water, cool and clear.”

“Honor is a fool's prize. Glory is of no use to the dead.”

“One of the ironies of courage, and the reason why we prize it so highly, is that we find it easier to be brave for someone else than we do for ourselves alone.”
