I found life by losing it

Surely I found my life by losing it and the words of the Master were justified.

The Judge

Love for love's sake

Once I desired to be loved but now when I love for love's sake and not for my own sake, I am loved by a multitude.

The Judge

I only desire that Man shall be great

Once I desired to become a great man. Now when I only desire that Man shall be great, I have increased in stature myself.

The Judge

You may become joyous

By renouncing the will to joy, you may become joyous.

The Judge

You may make yourself immortal

By renouncing the will to live, you may make yourself immortal.

The Judge

The Universe grows I

Think less of yourself and think more of the race. You lose the vision of the whole by regarding too closely the parts, by regarding too closely yourself that is only one of the parts. Think of yourself as the race and think of the race as yourself; then yourself becomes the race and the race becomes yourself; the Universe grows I.

The Judge [Last Letters from a Living Dead Man]

The future wears a rose in its buttonhole

All progress is change. Go out with it to meet the future, with a smile on your face and a song on your lips. The future wears a rose in its buttonhole.

The Judge

All progress is change!

Remember ~ All progress is change!
