Depp down in my heart I knowed it was a lie, and He knowed it. You can’t pray a lie- I found that out.

The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be who we pretend to be.

Think

When the child cries 'wolf' again and again,
think wolf and keep watchful again and again.

"Human beings are one of the greatest achievements in the history of the world. We are our own achievement. So many people have dedicated their lives to working for our benefit. So many things that we have now came from people before us. We owe to them to make the most of our times now. We can create things of such beauty and magnificent dimensions, and we have the potential to destroy and tear down and deplete as well. This is so simple and so clear. The future holds everything. In my life I want to feel as good as possible and help as many people as I can to feel the same. I want to do everything and I want to help as many people do everything too. Everyone is invited. No one is turned away here."

Principal objective

Whatever film Hollywood turns out,
It turns out principally for money.

Application

Ch'eng-t'ien was asked, "How should I apply my mind twenty-four hours a day?"

He replied, "When chickens are cold, the roost in trees; when ducks are cold, the plunge into water."

The questioner said, "Then i don't need cultivated realization, and won't pursue Buddhahood or Zen mastery."

Ch'eng-t'ien responded, "You've saved half my effort."
