making him realize that what you speak

came from his own mind.

Alan Watts

The most difficult subjects can be explained

to the most slow-witted man if he has not

formed any idea of them already; but

the simplest thing cannot be made clear

to the most intelligent man if he is firmly

persuaded that he knows already,

without a shadow of doubt,

what is laid before him.

Leo Tolstoy

Hypocrisy in anything whatever may deceive

the cleverest and most penetrating man,

however ingeniously it may be disguised.

the impossibility to live otherwise than to

the demands of our conscience, not from our

mental resolution to try a new form of life.

Leo Tolstoy

In order for the truth to be heard, it must

be spoken with love. No matter how wise

and true a spoken word is it will not be

conveyed to someone if it's spoken in anger.

Leo Tolstoy
