Sleep no more!
We lop away that bearing boughs may live.
Truth makes all things plain.

Fear not… there is no danger for you. There is a way to cross over the ocean of the world, and by this way the wise men have reached the shore. This same way I point out to you, for it is the way to destroy the world’s fear. Crossing the ocean of the world by this way, you will win perfect peace.

I pray thee, O God, that I may be beautiful within.
Know thyself.
The truth is always the strongest argument.
Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control: these three alone lead life to sovereign power.
