BOOKS: MY ABC | METANOIA | SILENCE | TWO BANKS | УКРАЇНСЬКОЮ
The interlocutor’s talent lies in the art of silence.
…
The deeper the silence, the clearer the voices of contradiction.
…
The stolen differs from the given: while the former burns, the latter warms.
…
Wealth can be reward, ruin, or salvation.
…
To hear is to learn to keep and feel the silence.
To speak is to learn to think and listen to others.
…
The more we aspire, the more likely we are to reach the target.
…
Eyes are not given to be blind,
Nor ears to be deaf.
But the tongue is to be kept behind one’s teeth.
…
To know the will,
Is to know and overcome the fear and nature of your slavery.
…
If something is stolen from you, it is only worth considering for two reasons:
That you are not so poor, and that you have something in excess.
…
The ability to forgive debts is proportional to one’s wealth.
… The more a man speaks, the less he is able to say.
…
Better to lose what you have in excess than find something beyond your strength.
…
Silence reveals, while quiet hears everything.
…
Not to be angry does not mean to be kind.
…
One’s will is not found through independence,
But only through natural purity,
…
Tradition is a spirit,
Habit is a reflex.
…
What is found is saved,
And what is saved can always be found.
…
The higher you rise in the light,
The brighter your soul becomes,
And more distinct the voices of kindness and evil.
…
Lying is an attempt to compensate for the absence of sincerity.
…
The sun shines in daytime to let us know which way to go at night.
…
Hunger teaches,
Satiety stupefies.
…
The sweetest voice of truth is silence.
…
The one who listens to the quiet hears himself. The one who hears himself will learn to recognize the voice of truth.
…
Isolation devastates, solitude heals.
…
Lying has one distinctive feature – it prevents us from living peacefully.
…
The more man sees and knows,
The less he admires himself,
And continues on the way to enlightenment.
…
Nothing leads a man further toward the truth,
As a perfect example and personal life experience.
They speak too much who do not hear themselves.
…
The most difficult things in our life are the easiest to solve.
We must simply overcome our fears and rid ourselves of laziness.
…
Wisdom turns wealth into glory,
While greed, from glory, aims to get wealth.
…
Physical laws are signs that we live not only in the physical environment.
…
Know that by sadness you pay for superfluous joy.
…
A man becomes strong only when he is revealed to be weak
Against the background of God’s omnipotence.
…
Only when laughter is deprived of malice
Does it bring joy and consolation.
…
Wonder is proof of our blindness.
…
Whenever you want quiet,
Forget about it and devote yourself to your calling.
The quiet will come to you gradually.
…
The funniest things in life come from being excessively earnest.
…
To become yourself, stop playing somebody else’s role.
…
The way discovers in us what routine hides.
The road reveals in us what is hidden in day-to-day life.
…
Money makes us free
Until we start to serve it.
…
Things become terrible when we lose our sense of humour.
…
Laughter saves us from bitter tears,
As tears save us from malicious laughter.
…
Nothing is as true as pain.
…
The mysterious attracts,
The unknown repels.
…
Degradation arises due to carelessness rooted in satisfaction.
…
The quieter you speak, the better you are heard.
For the quiet word never plugs the ears.
…
The heart will see clearly if mind does not cross its way:
For the heart is to lead and the mind is to contain the way.
…
Emptiness and vanity move against a background of quietness,
And belligerence – against the background of the world.
…
We pay for our illusions
That steal the most valuable time in our lives.
…
Sometimes the power of thought becomes tenable implement
If it is wielded by an impure soul.
…
Our capabilities are in our knowledge
For in knowledge we discover our capabilities.
…
Stars fall from the sky to make the earth lighter.
…
As your eyes are, so you will see.
