Living trapped within your self
certainly isn’t savory;
Peace at any price is not peace,
it’s slavery.
Better to starve free than be a fat slave.
If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong.
No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation.
The moment the slave resolves that he will no longer be a slave, his fetters fall.
Life is full of problems,
and when they settle in,
remember, for solutions,
The Way Out is In.
We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
Every problem has a gift for you in its hands.
No problem can stand the assault of sustained thinking.
Don’t tell your problems to people: eighty percent don’t care; and the other twenty percent are glad you have them.
From birth to death the truth be known,
when you cry tears
You’re On Your Own.
If you’re attacked when all alone,
the truth remains—
You’re On Your Own.
Fair weather friends have always flown.
When your fame dies,
You’re On Your Own.
So best to seek the sanctum
of the Journey headed Home
from this wasteland of the loveless where
You Are On Your Own.
The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone.
Perfect Masters throughout time,
in all of their addresses,
state that in pursuit of truth
Concentration Coalesces.
If you don’t concentrate, you’ll end up on your rear.
To be able to concentrate for a considerable time
is essential to difficult achievement.
The stages of the Noble Path are: Right View, Right Thought,
Right Speech, Right Behavior, Right Livelihood,
Right Effort, Right Mindfulness and
Right Concentration.
