Some piously affirm: "The truth is such and such. I know! I see!"
And hold that everything depends upon having the “right” religion.
But when one really knows, one has no need of religion. - Mahavyuha Sutra
Freedom necessarily involves risk. - Alan Watts
Here's a few favorites from one text.Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down; he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.
Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death . . . Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it.
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
Ajax
