Muichi Motsu: "Hold nothing": If you meet Buddha, kill Buddha. If you meet the patriarchs, kill the patriarchs. Free of all, bound by nothing, you live your life simply as it is

A past may chase you if you try to escape from it... but once you confront it, it's just an old memory inside you. There's nothing to be afraid of.

Even when we turn around, there are no footprints behind us... Nor the road we came along, nor the tune we hummed... When we die, No-one will know it's happened

Regret is just a waste of time for fools.

No, but you're wrong now, and always will be.

If the accident of genes has put you in a place where you can be a role model, then be somebody!

Why does almost every ad agency in the world set the time on a watch at 10:10 before photographing it?

When someone comes to you with big dreams, don't be too quick to belittle their ambition and dreams. Inspire and help them in any way you can. Even the beautiful butterfly was once a caterpillar.

Do you seriously envision St. Paul or Calvin or Luther opening bottles of Welch's Grape Juice in the sacristy before the service? Luther at least would turn over in his grave.

My big brother used to come home drunk and he'd clash with my dad and I just didn't want that.

I am opposed to any form of tyranny over the mind of man.
