There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep.

Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living.

It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.

People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls.

For one wild, glad moment we snapped the chain that binds us to earth, and joining hands with the winds we felt ourselves divine.

An inability to stay quiet . . . is one of the most conspicuous failings of mankind.

You may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, you may kill me with your hatefulness, but still, like air, I'll rise.

If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad.

I have arrived. I am home in the here, in the now. I am solid. I am free. In the ultimate I dwell.

Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for. Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us.

If you have no time for prayer and meditation, you will have lots of time for sickness and trouble.

I hate who steals my solitude without, in exchange, offering me true company.
