“Knowing when to leave requires training.”

“I wanna leave here myself. But when I leave, whether it's on a bus or train or in a pine box, somebody gon' know I was here.”

“To think bad thoughts is really the easiest thing in the world. If you leave your mind to itself it will spiral down into ever increasing unhappiness. To think good thoughts, however, requires effort. This is one of the things that discipline and training is all about.”

“My idea of recreation in those busy years, was to leave the porpoise training for an hour or two, round up a bunch of children, and go play at training the ponies. I don't know where I found the strength. ”

“When you train your thoughts to dissolve as they arise, they will cross your mind like a bird crosses the sky--without leaving a trace.”

“Between the time the last train leaves and the first train arrives, the place changes: it's not the same as in daytime.”
