That person never existed before, will never exist again, will not be karmically recycled, will not go to heaven, therefore I take it seriously.”
“Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid.”
