◆ No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

- Gautama Buddha100

◆ Should I go up one flight of stairs and then come back down, or should I go down one flight of stairs and then come back up? Same destination, same distance, same amount of work, but two different paths. Who knows, I might find love on one path. Probably the path I don't choose. ?

- Jarod Kintz99

◆ There are two paths of which one may choose in the walk of life; one we are born with, and the one we consciously blaze. One is naturally true, while the other is a perceptive illusion. Choose wisely at each fork in the road.

- T.F. Hodge99

◆ Constantly stopping to explain oneself may expand into a frustrating burden for the rare individual, so ceasing to do so is like finally dropping the weights and sprinting towards his goals. Those who insincerely misunderstand, who intentionally distort the motives of a pure-intentioned individual, then, no longer have the opportunity to block his path; instead, they are the ones left to stand on the sidelines shouting frustratedly in the wind of his trail.

- Criss Jami99

◆ Let each man take the path according to his capacity, understanding and temperament. His true guru will meet him along that path.

◆ It is not we who seek the Way, but the Way which seeks us. That is why you are faithful to it, even while you stand waiting, so long as you are prepared, and act the moment you are confronted by its demands.

◆ The difference between a path and a road is not only the obvious one. A path is little more than a habit that comes with knowledge of a place. It is a sort of ritual of familiarity. As a form, it is a form of contact with a known landscape. It is not destructive. It is the perfect adaptation, through experience and familiarity, of movement to place; it obeys the natural contours; such obstacles as it meets it goes around.

- Wendell Berry99

◆ The path to our destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn't matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is that we embark.

- Barbara Hall99

◆ It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think yours is the only path.

- Paulo Coelho99

◆ True morality consists not in following the beaten track, but in finding the true path for ourselves, and fearlessly following it.

- Mahatma Gandhi99

◆ What you are, and who you are should provide greater clarity about where you have been and where you are headed. Although one distinguishes spiritual from physical nature, the ultimate unification of the two is the consequence of the struggle for internal, external and eternal – peace.

- T.F. Hodge99

◆ He is one of those who has had the wilderness for a pillow, and called a star his brother. Alone. But loneliness can be a communion.

- Dag Hammarskj?ld99

◆ One's options in this world are as vast as the horizon, which is technically a circle and thus infinitely broad. Yet we must choose each step we take with utmost caution, for the footprints we leave behind are as important as the path we will follow. They're part of the same journey — our story.

- Lori R. Lopez99

◆ In the construction of houses, choice of woods is made. Straight un-knotted timber of good appearance is used for the revealed pillars, straight timber with small defects is used for the inner pillars. Timbers of the finest appearance, even if a little weak, is used for the thresholds, lintels, doors, and sliding doors, and so on. Good strong timber, though it be gnarled and knotted, can always be used discreetly in construction.

- Miyamoto Musashi99
