Have you ever observed that we pay much more attention to a wise passage when it is quoted than when we read it in the original author?
The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly - that is what each of us is here for.
Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it.
I have the worst memory ever so no matter who comes up to me - they're just, like, 'I can't believe you don't remember me!" I'm like, 'Oh Dad I'm sorry!'
I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business.
The average person thinks he isn't.
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
