• No tengo derecho a llamarme alguien que sabe. Fui uno que busca, y aún lo soy, pero ya no busco en las estrellas ni en los libros; empiezo a oír las enseñanzas de mi sangre latiendo dentro de mí. Mi historia no es agradable, no es dulce y armoniosa como las historias inventadas; sabe a locura y desconcierto, a locura y sueño, como la vida de todas las personas que ya no quieren mentirse a sí mismas.

• Any one who has common sense will remember that the bewilderments of the eyes are of two kinds, and arise from two causes, either from coming out of the light or from going into the light, which is true of the mind's eye, quite as much as of the bodily eye; and he who remembers this when he sees any one whose vision is perplexed and weak, will not be too ready to laugh; he will first ask whether that soul of man has come out of the brighter light, and is unable to see because unaccustomed to the dark, or having turned from darkness to the day is dazzled by excess of light.

  Which annuls the danger and provides a way of escape.

• Jesus will turn your sorrow into joy. One can only imagine the shock and bewilderment the Apostles felt when the Lord told them he must go away. Though they could not understand it at the time, his departure was for their benefit. The same is true of the unexpected setbacks and tragedies we experience in this life...When I consider the times when I have been confounded by events that seemed so contrary to what I thought God wanted for me, I should be mindful that they were permitted by the Lord's inscrutable providence for my own good, as difficult as that might be to fathom.

• Silence
  is an ocean. Speech is a river.
  When the ocean is searching for you, don't walk
  into the language-river. Listen to the ocean,
  and bring your talky business to an end.
  Traditional words are just babbling
  in that presence, and babbling is a substitute
  for sight.

  Rumi

• Vivimos una época de problemas y desconcierto, en la que ninguno de nosotros puede prever o predecir el futuro. Pero, sin duda, es en tiempos como éstos, cuando tanto de lo que apreciamos está amenazado o en peligro, cuando más nos sentimos impulsados a fortalecer nuestros recursos internos, a dirigirnos a las cosas que no tienen valor de noticia porque mañana serán las mismas que fueron ayer y hoy: las cosas que perduran, las cosas que los más sabios, los más previsores de nuestra raza y especie se han inspirado para expresar en formas que puedan inspirarnos a su vez.

• El golf no puede jugarse con ira ni con excesos emocionales. La mitad de las pelotas de golf que golpean los aficionados lo hacen, si no con rabia, seguramente con perplejidad, con melancolía, con cinismo o incluso con histeria: todos esos excesos emocionales deben ser contenidos por el profesional. Por eso el equilibrio es uno de los ingredientes esenciales del golf. Los profesionales recorren invariablemente el campo flemáticos, sean cuales sean las emociones que bullen en su interior, con el aspecto sombrío pero plácido y aburrido de los vaqueros, flojos de cuerpo en sus monturas, que llevan dos meses cuidando el mismo rebaño.

• He educated Maurice, or rather his spirit educated Maurice's spirit, for they themselves became equal. Neither thought "Am I led; am I leading?" Love had caught him out of triviality and Maurice out of bewilderment in order that two imperfect souls might touch perfection.
