“How we see God is a direct reflection of how we see ourselves.”

In a mad world, only the mad are sane.

All that glitters is not gold.

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.

Knowledge is power. Information is liberating.

Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.

Don't gain the world and lose your soul; wisdom is better than silver or gold.

The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line.

A Zen master's life is one continuous mistake.
