“«Karma es el principio del conocimiento. Después, está la paciencia. La paciencia es muy importante. Los pacientes son fuertes, Anjín-san. Paciencia significa dominar nuestra inclinación hacia las siete emociones: odio, adoración, gozo, ansiedad, irritación, dolor y miedo. Si las resistes, eres paciente, y pronto comprenderás todas las cosas y estarás en armonía con la Eternidad.»”

“All his life he had heard legends told among pilots and sailormen about the incredible riches of Portugal's secret empire in the East, how they had by now converted the heathens to Catholicism and so held them in bondage, where gold was as cheap as pig iron, and emeralds, rubies, diamonds, and sapphires as plentiful as pebbles on a beach.

Autumn is coming, he was suggesting with the flower, talking through the flower, do not weep for the time of fall, the time of dying when the earth begins to sleep; enjoy the time of beginning again and experience the glorious cool of the autumn air on this summer evening…soon the tear will vanish and the rose, only the stones will remain — soon you and I will vanish and only the stones will remain.”
