Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.” “Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. “ “Ennui has made more gamblers than avarice, more drunkards than thirst, and perhaps as many suicides as despair. “ “In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true. “ “It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell. “ “No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. “ “To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent. “ “Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others." BOODA
