Glorious Truths

And so faith is closing your eyes and following the breath of your soul down to the bottom of life, where existence and nonexistence have merged into irrelevance ...
All that matters is the little part you play in the vast drama ...

Almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important ...
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose ...
You are already naked ...
There is no reason not to follow your heart ...

Depend not on another, but lean instead on thyself ...
True happiness is born of self-reliance ...

Trust yourself ...
Think for yourself ...
Act for yourself ...
Speak for yourself ...
Be yourself ...
Imitation is suicide ...

It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare ...
