Anything can be a teacher

The only real courage is to be yourself.

To become a blacksmith, you need to forge.

The best teacher in life is experience. Charges a lot, but explains clearly.

Learn from your mistakes. This feature is the only thing useful about them.

Courage, will, knowledge and silence are the assets and weapons of those who follow the path of improvement.

When the disciples' ears are ready to hear, lips appear ready to fill them with wisdom.

The lips of wisdom are open only to the ears of understanding.

Books give knowledge, but they cannot tell everything. First seek wisdom from the scriptures, and then seek Supreme guidance.

The soul is a prisoner of its ignorance. She is chained by the chains of ignorance to an existence in which she cannot control her destiny. The purpose of every virtue is to eliminate one such chain.

Those who gave you your body endowed it with weakness. But EVERYTHING that gave you a soul armed you with determination. Act decisively and you will be wise. Be wise and you will find happiness.

The greatest treasures given to man are judgment and will. Happy is he who knows how to use them.

Anything can be a teacher.

The "I" chooses the method of teaching the "I".

Giving up freedom of thought may mean losing the last opportunity to understand the laws of the Universe.

True knowledge comes from the highest path, which leads to the eternal Fire. Delusion, defeat and death arise when a person follows the lower path of earthly attachments.

Wisdom is the child of learning; Truth is the child of wisdom and love.

Death occurs when the purpose of life is achieved; death shows what the meaning of life is.

When you meet an arguer who is inferior to you, do not try to crush him with the force of your arguments. He is weak and will give himself away. Don't respond to evil speeches. Don't indulge your blind passion to win at any cost. You will defeat him by the fact that those present will agree with you.

True wisdom is far from stupidity. A wise man often doubts and changes his mind. A fool is stubborn and stands his ground, knowing everything except his ignorance.

Only one part of the soul penetrates into the earthly chain of time, while the other remains in timelessness.

Avoid talking to many people about your knowledge. Don’t keep it selfishly for yourself, but don’t expose it to the ridicule of the crowd. Close person will understand the truth of your words. The distant one will never be your friend.

May these words remain in the casket of your body and may they keep your tongue from idle talk.

Be careful not to misunderstand the teaching.

The spirit is life, and the body is needed in order to live.

About friendship

A true friend is known in misfortune. - Aesop

My friend is the one to whom I can tell everything. - V.G. Belinsky

As rare as true love is, true friendship is even rarer. - La Rochefoucauld

Affection can do without reciprocity, but friendship never can. - J. Rousseau

Friedrich Nietzsche

• A woman is considered thoughtful, why?
  Because they can’t find out the reasons for her actions. The reason for her actions never lies on the surface.

  The same affects in men and women differ in tempo; That’s why a man and a woman never stop misunderstanding each other.

  Everyone carries within himself the image of a woman, received from his mother; this determines whether a person will honor women in general, or despise them, or, in general, treat them with indifference.

  If spouses did not live together, good marriages would occur more often.

  A lot of short madness - you call it love. And your marriage, like one long folly, puts an end to many short follies.

  Your love for your wife and your wife's love for her husband - ah, if only it could be pity for the suffering hidden gods! But almost always two animals guess each other.

  And even your best love is only an enthusiastic symbol and painful ardor. Love is a torch that should shine for you on higher paths.

  A little good food can often make the difference between whether we look at the future with hope or despondency. This is true even in the most sublime and spiritual realms of man.

  Sometimes sensuality overtakes love, the root of love remains weak, unrooted, and it is not difficult to pull it out.

  We praise or blame, depending on whether one or the other gives us a greater opportunity to discover the brilliance of our mind.

Your right is to swear, my right is not to listen.

Ancient Greece. Apelles =

Does it really matter whether you occupy a house in which many have lived or one in which no one has lived?

The Tao of the perfect sage is action without struggle.”

Zhang 81 from the Book of Path and Power.

In the struggle the shield and spear will be exhausted
Each of us will die in the struggle.
You went out to look - so look for yours! -
no one else will give up theirs. You wanted to say the right thing,
but I hurt other people with my words, -
you knew, but they didn't want to know
no one's borrowed ideas. No exit. But where is the entrance
you can just leave the light on
and if someone comes there -
he will know that there is no way out. Then without words, without your ideas,
without persuasion to go forward, -
a lot of very kind people
will follow you silently. They will go without asking -
are you enlightened or in darkness,
just everyone is ready to find
the most important thing on earth. ABOUT! How simple it is - not to suffer!
Silence and give wisdom to the path,
After all, the most important thing is to become a light!
And you can immediately see where to go.

The true calling of everyone consists of only one thing - to come to oneself, to find one’s own, and not a loved one’s, destiny and to surrender to it internally, completely and unshakably.

Hermann Hesse

“And yet death remains forever and ever the only predetermined event for each of us.”

“What would we do if we built the world, brought into being a great being and saw that here something has failed, there is only half in order, and here both are out of place? Now they would intervene, tear it out, destroy it, right?

We would not notice the value contained even in the imperfect, the spark of true light in the failed, we would forget how important it is.”

“What is the longest word? Eternity. The shortest now. It doesn't even last a second. Think that now this is the time during which we must prepare for eternity.”

and there are things that can only appear when you are not there.
