Quotes from the same author

The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be.
Be as you wish to seem.
Wisdom begins in wonder.
When I was young, I believed that life might unfold in an orderly way, according to my hopes and expectations. But now I understand that the Way winds like a river, always changing, ever onward.. My journeys revealed that the Way itself creates the warrior; that every path leads to peace, every choice to wisdom. And that life has always been, and will always be, arising in Mystery.
I call myself a Peaceful Warrior... because the battles we fight are on the inside.
