Voidness Is That Which Stands Right In

The Past Is No More; The Future Not Yet. Nothing Exists Except The Here And Now. Our Grand Business Is Not To See What Lies Dimly At A Distance, But To Do What Lies Clearly At Our Hands.

The Man Who Is Really Serious, With The Urge To Find Out What Truth Is, Has No Style At All. He Lives Only In What Is.

The Truth Is Outside Of All Fixed Patterns.

There Is A Powerful Craving In Most Of Us To See Ourselves As Instruments In The Hands Of Others And Thus Free Ourselves From The Responsibility For Acts Which Are Prompted By Our Own Questionable Inclinations And Impulses. Both The Strong And The Weak Grasp At This Alibi. The Latter Hide Their Malevolence Under The Virtue Of Obedience: They Acted Dishonorably Because They Had To Obey Orders. The Strong, Too, Claim Absolution By Proclaiming Themselves The Chosen Instrument Of A Higher Power -- God, History, Fate, Nation, Or Humanity.

Preparation For Tomorrow Is Hard Work Today.
