This book is an amazing collection of simple and intuitive life concepts. There is no better way to review this than by providing a flavour of some of its best quotes!

Marriage

Sing and dance and be joyous together, but let each one of you be alone.

Children

You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

Clothes

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.

Buying and Selling

It is in exchanging the gifts of the earth that you shall find abundance and be satisfied. Yet unless the exchange be in love and kindly justice it will but lead some to greed and others to hunger.

Crime and Punishment

I say that even as the holy and the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each of you, so the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also.

Freedom

You shall be free indeed when your days are not without a care nor your nights without a want and a grief, But rather when these things girdle your life and yet you rise above them naked and unbound. You can only be free when you cease to speak of freedom as a goal and a fulfillment.

Teaching

No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep on the dawning of your knowledge.

Friendship

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

Talking

You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts. In much of your talking, thinking is half murdered.
