“The world could change in a second,
so I find the sunshine beckons me,
to open up the gate and dream.”

“I was having a wonderful time and the whole world opened up before me because I had no dreams.”

“Now I climb the steps to freedom,
The open gates, I can see them.
Hands once I knew
Beckoning me through,
As the sunlight touch my face,
I can feel the warm embrace;
Arms surround me,
My life has found me…”

“No one can persuade another to change. Each of us guards a gate of change that can only be opened from the inside. We cannot open the gate of another, either by argument or by emotional appeal.”

“He who wants to do good knocks at the gate; he who loves finds the gate open.”

“Each of us guard a gate of change that can only be opened from the inside.”

“Before one goes through the gate
one may not be aware there is a gate
One may think there is a gate to go through
and look a long time for it
without finding it
One may find it and
it may not open
If it opens one may be through it
As one goes through it
one sees that the gate one went through
was the self that went through it
no one went through a gate
there was no gate to go through
no one ever found a gate
no one ever realized there was never a gate”

“I tend to believe whatever you decide to look for you will find, whatever you beckon will eventually beckon you.”

“He would rather burst a city gate than find it open to admit him.”
Non tam portas intrare patentis quam fregisse juvat.

“Well I won't back down,
No I won't back down.
You could stand me up at the gates of hell,
But I won't back down.”
