"But we just imagine the future as a reflex of the present projected
into an empty space, while it is often the already very near result of

"An evil character does not trust in the assistance of others in adversity:
If he calls upon it, it is without confidence: If he obtains it, he feels it with-
out true gratitude: Because he can hardly conceive it otherwise than as

"I love quotations. Not because they enable me to pretend to be wise
-- I do not adorn myself with them -- but because they very often point
the way in the right direction... "
"A bitter fate befalls him who meets with understanding, who is celebrated as a victor,
who receives thanks and honours ... wealth. Soon he will puff himself up in mean pre-
sumption and exchange his starry nights for merchandise... "

"When we finally awaken, one thing quickly becomes clear. Neither the fact
that someone brings billions to his side, nor the number of members who

esoteric' concerns. This fusion is what may be called 'Spiritual Life'. "
