Quotation by Thomas Translated By : Byron:

Look within;
There is no fire like greed,
No crime like hatred,
No sorrow like separation,
No sickness like hunger of heart,
And no joy like the joy of freedom.
Health, contentment and trust
Are the greatest possessions,
And freedom is the greatest joy.
Look within.
Be Still.
Awaken;
Follow then the shining ones, the wise, the awakened, the loving,
For they know how to work and forbear.
But if you cannot find
Friend or master to go with you,
Travel on alone-
Like a king who has given away his kingdom,
if a traveler can find a virtuous and wise companion and overcome the dangers of the way.
Follow them
As the moon follows the path of the stars.
