“Give me the fruitful error any time, full of seeds, bursting with its own corrections. You can keep your sterile truth for yourself.”

“That an error made on your own is safer than ten truths accepted on faith, because the first leaves you the means to correct it but the second destroys your capacity to distinguish truth from error.”

“A teacher cannot give you the truth The truth is already in you You only need to open yourself –body, mind and heart-so that his or her teachings will penetrate your own seeds of understanding and enlightenmentIf you let the words enter you, the soil and the seeds will do the rest of the work”

“Life is still better than University. In school, your teacher is the fruit picker and you are the open fruit basket. Then you take those fruits and make cakes and pies. But life is going to give you the chance to go out there and pick those fruits yourself. Then you can eat them, or make them into something else; any which way, your own hands picked them!”

“Error is better than apathy. Error can be corrected in time to change the outcome. Apathy is seldom corrected until it is too late.”

“Truth is not to be found outside. No teacher, no scripture can give it to you. It is inside you and if you wish to attain it, seek your own company. Be with yourself. ”
