To be blind momentarily when light hits your eyes is better than to be blind permanently when darkness hits your soul.

Your mind is an entire world, your heart is an entire cosmos, and your soul is an entire universe.

Water has no mouth, but swallows many.
Light has no hands, but touches many.
Wind has no feet, but carries many.
Darkness has no teeth, but devours many.

Your inner world creates your outer world.

I once was blind, but now I see; deaf, but now I hear; ignorant, but now I know; and dead, but now I live.

Light travels half away around the world while darkness is still putting its shoes on.
