To-day is the pupil of yesterday.

My music fights against the system that teaches to live and die.

We shouldn't teach great books; we should teach a love of reading.

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.

These days, yogic exercises have become very popular in the modern world... and this is precisely because many people have found that through yoga they can achieve a degree of physical health that leads to better mental health. The approach that is suggested by the lo jong teachings is slightly different, however. They concentrate directly on the development of the mind itself, through the transformation of our attitudes and ways of thinking.

Now the reason the enlightened prince and the wise general conquer the enemy whenever they move and their achievements surpass those of ordinary men is foreknowledge.

If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near.

Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponents fate.

You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
