“My life has been full of terrible misfortunes most of which never happened.”

“Ambition is not a vice of little people.”

“Any person of honor chooses rather to lose his honor than to lose his conscience.”

“Life is made up of marble and mud.”

“This life, which had been the tomb of his virtue and of his honour, is but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

“In the stillness of your presence, you can feel your own formless and timeless reality as the unmanifested life that animates your physical form. You can then feel the same life deep within every other human and every other creature. You look beyond the veil of form and separation. This is the realization of oneness. This is love.”
