In the faces of men and women I see God.

"For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you."  

All goes onward and outward, nothing collapses,
And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier.  

I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing.

It is the greatest good for a man to discuss virtue every day…for the unexamined life is not worth living.

My belief is that to have no wants is divine.

Death may be the greatest of all human blessings. To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being wise: for it is to think that we know what we do not know. For anything that men can tell, death may be the greatest good that can happen to them: but they fear it as if they knew quite well that it was the greatest of evils. And what is this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know?

I shall never fear or avoid things of which I do not know...

A seeker of silences am I, and what treasure have I found in silences that I may dispense with confidence?

Your joy is your sorrow unmasked... The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
