The Closer You Get To

Knowledge Without Transformation Is Not Wisdom.

Playing The Part Of A Charitable Soul Was Only For Those Who Were Afraid Of Taking A Stand In Life. It Is Always Far Easier To Have Faith In Your Own Goodness Than To Confront Others And Fight For Your Rights. It Is Always Easier To Hear An Insult And Not Retaliate Than Have The Courage To Fight Back Against Someone Stronger Than Yourself; We Can Always Say We're Not Hurt By The Stones Others Throw At Us, And It's Only At Night - When We're Alone And Our Wife Or Our Husband Or Our School Friend Is Asleep - That We Can Silently Grieve Over Our Own Cowardice.

He Too Knows How To Lose.

Knowledge Was Always The Power That Kept The Universe In Its Place And The Stars Turning In Their Orbits.

Surrendering Completely To Love, Be It Human Or Divine, Means Giving Up Everything, Including Our Own Well-being Or Our Ability To Make Decisions. It Means Loving In The Deepest Sense Of The Word. The Truth Is That We Don't Want To Be Saved In The Way God Has Chosen; We Want To Keep Absolute Control Over Our Every Step, To Be Fully Conscious Of Our Decisions, To Be Capable Of Choosing The Object Of Our Devotion.
