Start doing the things you think should be done, and start being what you think society should become. Do you believe in free speech? Then speak freely. Do you love the truth? Then tell it. Do you believe in an open society? Then act in the open. Do you believe in a decent and humane society? Then behave decently and humanely.
Society exists for the benefit of its members, not the members for the benefit of society.
We are shifting from a managerial society to an entrepreneurial society.
Society never advances. It recedes as fast on one side as it gains on the other. . . . Society acquires new arts, and loses old instincts.
When old habits suddenly arise, don't use your mind to repress them. At just such a time,Just watch it, and it will come and it will go.... Like a snowflake on a red-hot stove.
Suffering is not holding you. You are holding suffering. When you become good at the art of letting sufferings go, then you'll come to realize how unnecessary it was for you to drag those burdens around with you. You'll see that no one else other than you was responsible. The truth is that existence wants your life to become a festival.
An empty bag cannot stand upright.
We are students of words; we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation rooms, for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing
It's not that I don't suffer, it's that I know the unimportance of suffering, I know that pain is to be fought and thrown aside, not to be accepted as part of one's soul and as a permanent scar across one's view of existence. Don't feel sorry for me. It was gone right then.
