Appear as you are, be as you appear.

Be conscious of yourself as consciousness alone, watch all the thoughts come and go. Come to the conclusion, by direct experience, that you are really consciousness itself, not its ephemeral contents.

Annamalai Swami

Hardship is a blessing when it spurs effort and development; ease is a curse when it increases complacency and self-indulgence.

Humility teaches courage. Weakness teaches strength. And grief teaches love. So you must treasure them, not hate yourself for them.

You must not be afraid of your uniqueness and you must care less and less what people think of you.

Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning.
