“The man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without”

“In a man to man fight, the winner is he who has one more round within himself.”

“The more simply we look at ticklish questions, the more placid will be our lives and relationships.”

“He who has begun has half done. Dare to be wise; begin!”
Dimidium facti qui coepit habet; sapere aude; incipe!

“Who is more to be pitied, a writer bound and gagged by policemen or one living in perfect freedom who has nothing more to say?”

“The car has made our lives more difficult. If not for it, we would have everything we needed within walking distance.”

“For what man has sought for is, indeed, neither pain nor pleasure, but simply Life. Man has sought to live intensely, fully, perfectly. When he can do so without exercising restraint on others, or suffering it ever, and his activities are all pleasurable to him, he will be saner, healthier, more civilised, more himself. Pleasure is Nature's test, her sign of approval. When man is happy, he is in harmony with himself and his environment.”

“Nature is the greatest healer, by reconnecting back to nature, we begin changing the world all around us. We begin living from the inside out, breathing in the beautiful 'Chi,' becoming peaceful, developing serenity within ourselves, and that will make this planet a much more harmonious place to live in.”

“We cannot deny that people who know more about the educational needs of local people are those who work and live within that community.”

“People live longer today than they ever have. They live happier lives, they have more knowledge, they have more information. All this is the result of communications technology and the tools with which man has equipped himself. How is any of that bad?”
