No one escapes from life alive.

If you cannot find peace within yourself, you will never find it anywhere else.

You must remember that no one lives a life free from pain and suffering.

... that life can't be escaped and must be faced entirely.

You know, my dear child, that one cannot find peace in work or in pleasure, in the world or in a convent, but only in one's soul.

Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.

You can't possibly be afraid of death, really, you can only be afraid of life.

When you cannot find your peace in yourself it is useless to look for it elsewhere

you can't get away from yourself by moving from one place to another.

Trying to run away is never the answer to being a fully human. Running away from the immediacy of our experience is like preferring death to life.

Don't risk your life for those that doesn't love your life, lest you end up in regrets if not death.

You cannot change anything in your life with intention alone,

You see, there can be no life without death

if you don't have peace, it isn't because someone took it from you; you gave it away. You cannot always control what happens to you, but you can control what happens in you.
