ZhuangziZhuangzi·300 BC

Cherish that which is within you, and shut off that which is without; for much knowledge is a curse.

Siddhartha GautamaSiddhartha Gautama·-400 AD

Be a lamp unto yourself, be a refuge to yourself. Take yourself to no external refuge. Hold fast to the Truth as a lamp; hold fast to the Truth as a refuge.

Ralph Waldo EmersonRalph Waldo Emerson·1838

The world is nothing, the man is all; in yourself is the law of all nature, and you know not yet how a globule of sap ascends; in yourself slumbers the whole of Reason; it is for you to know all, it is for you to dare all.
