1 " War is very cruel, a predatory jungle, and is never the true path of life. "
― Feng Nong
2 " The moment when mortality, ephemerality, uncertainty, suffering, or the possibility of change arrives can split a life in two. Facts and ideas we might have heard a thousand times assume a vivid, urgent, felt reality. We knew them then, but they matter now. They are like guests that suddenly speak up and make demands upon us; sometimes they appear as guides, sometimes they just wreck what came before or shove us out the door. We answer them, when we answer, with how we lead our lives. Sometimes what begins as bad news prompts the true path of a life, a disruptive visitor that might be thanked only later. Most of us don’t change until we have to, and crisis is often what obliges us to do so. Crises are often resolved only through anew identity and new purpose, whether it’s that of a nation or a single human being. "
― Rebecca Solnit , The Faraway Nearby
3 " True morality consists not in following the beaten track, but in finding the true path for ourselves, and fearlessly following it. "
― Mahatma Gandhi
4 " Socrates: (...)They should not pit themselves against the will of the Gods in thought or deed. Here lies the true path of virtue and happiness. The other way is arrogance, pride and hubris. It ends in tragedy, as we all well know from the Theatre.Hermogenes: Thank you Socrates. Does this also mean that what the Gods will is always virtuous and must be the Good?Socrates: Yes. There is no other basis for the Good. "
5 " A heart is never broken, it is our mind that can't find the key to unlock the treasures that are hidden inside each of us. Letting go, acceptance and trust to our core heart are the true path to reunion with our loving self and let all fears and sorrow disappear. "
