Subjective truth

"To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men - that is genius." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts." - Albert Einstein

Soen-sa said, "Four blind men went to the zoo and visited the elephant. One blind man touched its side and said, 'The elephant is like a wall.' The next blind man touched its trunk and said, 'The elephant is like a snake.' The next blind man touched its leg and said, 'The elephant is like a column.' The last blind man touched its tail and said, 'The elephant is like a broom.' Then the four blind men started to fight, each one believing that his opinion was the right one. Each only understood the part he had touched; none of them understood the whole."

"Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it." – Buddha

"γνώθι σ'εαυτόν" - "Know thyself"

"There is a difference between knowing the path, and walking the path."
