“Love is taking care of oneself by freeing one's mind of worries and conducting one self with propriety.”

“Conduct! Is conduct everything? One may conduct oneself excellently, and yet break one's heart.”

“To will oneself moral and to will oneself free are one and the same decision.”

“I should not have cared to see it as an act of self-sacrifice even if it had been one; for there is nothing clever in self-sacrifice, nothing to pride oneself on.”

“Yet it is only when one is able, without bitterness or self-pity, to surrender a dream one has long cherished, or a privilege one has long possessed, that one is set free…that one has set oneself free, for higher dreams, for greater privileges. James Baldwin”

“pure mind is like the empty sky,without memory, supreme meditation;it is our own nature, unstirring, uncontrived,and wherever that abides is the superior mind,one in buddhahood without any sign,one in view free of limiting elaboration,one in meditation free of limiting ideation,one in conduct free of limiting endeavor,and one in fruition free of limiting attainment.vast! spacious!released as it stands!with neither realization nor non-realization;experience consummate! no mind!it is open to infinity.”
