Henry David Thoreau·1850My life is like a stroll upon the beach, As near the ocean's edge as I can go.
John MuirAnother glorious Sierra day in which one seems to be dissolved and absorbed and sent pulsing onward we know not where. Life seems neither long nor short, and we take no more heed to save time or make haste than do the trees and stars. This is true freedom, a good practical sort of immortality.
William Shakespeare·1611We are such stuff As dreams are made on; and our little life Is rounded with a sleep.
But do not ask me where I am going, As I travel in this limitless world, Where every step I take is my home.
Just practice good, do good for others, without thinking of making yourself known so that you may gain reward. Really bring benefit to others, gaining nothing for yourself. This is the primary requisite for breaking free of attachments to the Self.
Students, when you want to say something, think about it three times before you say it. Speak only if your words will benefit yourselves and others. Do not speak if it brings no benefit.
