“There is no destiny beyond and above ourselves; we are ourselves the architects of our future.”

“There is no such thing as destiny. We ourselves shape our lives.”

“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.”

“Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another.”

“We can pay our debts to the past by putting the future in debt to ourselves.”

“Our destiny is solely determined by how we create ourselves. The only exception is when someone is born into wealth.”

“Life is not a search for experience, but for ourselves. Having discovered our own fundamental level we realize that it conforms to our own destiny and we find peace.”

“There is no greater insight into the future than recognizing… when we save our children, we save ourselves”

“If we all were judged according to the consequences
Of all our words and deeds, beyond the intention
And beyond our limited understanding
Of ourselves and others, we should all be condemned.”

“But a sort of rupture-in anguish-leaves us at the limit of tears: in such a case we lose ourselves, we forget ourselves and communicate with an elusive beyond.”
