“Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.”

“Never let anyone shame you into doing anything you don't choose to do. Keep your identity.”

“To become successful in anything, you need to first of all love what you do and have a strong passion for it. You also need to build up your skills, read widely, study your craft, and keep on setting bigger targets for yourself.”

“I hate doctors! They'll do anything — anything to keep you coming to them. They'll sell their souls! What's worse, they'll sell yours, and you never know it till one day you find yourself in hell!”

“When you have wisdom that another person knows that he needs, you give it freely. But when the other person doesn't yet know that he needs your wisdom you keep it to yourself. Food only looks good to a hungry man.”

“you must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame;
how could you rise anew if you have not first become ashes?”

“Sometimes, opening up your eyes and realising what you have – no matter how little you think – helps you find yourself.”

“What you keep to yourself you lose, what you give away, you keep forever.”

“That becomes the revolution, to be idealistic enough that you think you can change the world, and what you find is you can't change anything but yourself.”

“Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.”
