“With every pilgrimage one encounters the temporality of life. To die along the road is destiny. Or so I told myself.”
Bashō, Narrow Road To The Interior (Page 14)
“Remember that your understanding of your inner self holds the meaning of your life, and it makes you free if you do not force it to serve your flesh. The human soul which is enlightened by understanding and freed from passions, and lit with the divine light, stands on a firm foundation.”
Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar of Wisdom (Page 153)
“You should behave in such a way that you can say to everybody, ‘Behave as I do.'”
Immanuel Kant, A Calendar of Wisdom (Page 152)
“A wise man was asked, ‘Is there a single word which you can follow throughout all your life?’ And the wise man answered, ‘There is such a word. This is shu.’ And the meaning of this word is, ‘If we do not want certain things to be done to us, we should not do such things to others.'”
Chinese Wisdom, A Calendar of Wisdom (Page 152)
