One Has Renounced The Great Life When

And We Should Consider Every Day Lost On Which We Have Not Danced At Least Once. And We Should Call Every Truth False Which Was Not Accompanied By At Least One Laugh.

He Who Seeks Intelligence Lacks Intelligence.

But He Who Is Hated By The People, As The Wolf By The Dogs - Is The Free Spirit, The Enemy Of Fetters, The Non-adorer, The Dweller In The Woods.

Beware In The Presence Of Cats: They Never Give, They Do Not Even Retaliate--they Only Reply, And Purr In Doing So.

Let Them Like The Tibetans, Chew The Cud Of Their "om Mane Padme Hum" Innumerable Times, Or, As In Benares, Count The Name Of The God Ram-ram-ram (etc. With Or Without Charm) On Their Fingers; Or Honour Vishnu With His Thousand Names Of Invocation, Allah With His Ninety-nine; Or They May Make Use Of The Prayer-wheels And The Rosary: The Main Thing Is That They Are Settled Down For A Time At This Work And Are Tolerable To Look At. This Kind Of Prayer Has Been Invented For The Benefit Of The Pious Who Have Thought And Elevations Of Their Own.
