The essence of the Way is detachment.
And the goal of those who practice is freedom
from appearances.

Here are some things I've made up myself:

TO BE & NOT 2b

WANTED: Time AND Money

Life Is About Asking Questions, Not About Knowing The Answers

Poetry Cleans The Soul

Always Avoid Confrontation
Unless you Can Choose The Moment

3 Can Keep A Secret
When 2 Are Dead

What Goes Up
Must Calm Down

And this one is by the former First Lady of the USA
"The only Bush I trust, is my own."

“To be always intending to make a new and better life but never to find time to set about it is as…to put off eating and drinking and sleeping from one day to the next until you’re dead.”

Talking Re: Quotations and Proverbs

A few quotes from Poimandres, aka the Mind of the Universe, the Creative Intelligence.

"The punishment of desire is the agony of unfulfillment."

"To the ignorant, the body is the supreme and they are incapable of realizing the immortality that is within them. Knowing only the body which is subject to death, they believe in death because they worship that substance which is the cause and reality of death."

All kinds of beauty do not inspire love; there is a kind which only pleases the sight, but does not captivate the affections.

Miguel de Cervantes

Youth is happy because it has the capacity to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.

Franz Kafka

And here is the link to great Francoise La Rochefoulcauld's aphorisms..
