• Truly good manners are invisible: they ease the way for others, without drawing attention to themselves. It is no accident that the word "punctilious" ("attentive to formality or etiquette") comes from the same original root as punctuation.

• Much that was called religion has carried an unconscious attitude of hostility toward life. True religion must teach that life is filled with joys pleasing to the eye of God, that knowledge without action is empty. All men must see that the teaching of religion by rules and rote is largely a hoax. The proper teaching is recognized with ease. You can know it without fail because it awakens within you that sensation which tells you this is something you’ve always known.

• I think of you, I dream of you, I conjure you up when I need you most. This is all I can do, but to me it isn't enough. It will never be enough, this I know; yet what else is there for me to do? If you were here, you would tell me, but I have been cheated of even that. You always knew the proper words to ease the pain I felt. You always knew how to make me feel good inside.

• Good timber does not grow with ease:
  The stronger wind, the stronger trees;
  The further sky, the greater length;
  The more the storm, the more the strength.
  By sun and cold, by rain and snow,
  In trees and men good timbers grow.

• Try as much as you can to mention death.  For if you were having hard times in your life, then it would give you more hope and would ease things for you.  And if you were having abundant affluence of living in luxury, then it would make it less luxurious.

• Suicide is a particularly awful way to die: the mental suffering leading up to it is usually prolonged, intense and unpalliated. There is no morphine equivalent to ease the acute pain, and death, not uncommonly, is violent and grisly. The suffering of a suicidal is private and inexpressible, leaving family members, friends and colleagues to deal with an almost unfathomable kind of loss, as well as guilt. Suicide carries in its aftermath a level of confusion and devastation that is, for the most part, beyond description.

• Most of the time I am sunk in thought, but at some point on each walk there comes a moment when I look up and notice, with a kind of first-time astonishment, the amazing complex delicacy of the words, the casual ease with which elemental things come together to form a composition that is—whatever the season, wherever I put my besotted gaze—perfect.

  And by their vices brought to servitude,
  Than to love bondage more than liberty,

• As you identify less and less with the “me”, you will be more at ease with everybody and with everything. Do you know why? Because you are no longer afraid of being hurt or not liked. You no longer desire to impress anyone. Can you imagine the relief when you don't have to impress anybody anymore? Oh, what a relief. Happiness at last!

• A little rain, a little blood. Black fingernails in August; and going berserk, going bananas. As if entrapped in a tropical heatwave, with dozens of whirlwinds swirling in one’s mind, one thinks of a way out, or a way in: out of the scorching bosom of a volcano, and in – into the centre of a raging hurricane. And tracing the labyrinthine ways of your mind, the haphazard vagaries of your thoughts at ease, the odds and ends of your mental surplus you carelessly throw at the world, one wants to be at a loss, in a maze; amazed, and amazingly unabashed.

  Adam Zagajewski

• Look, and it can't be seen.
  Listen, and it can't be heard.
  Reach, and it can't be grasped.
  
  Above, it isn't bright.
  Below, it isn't dark.
  Seamless, unnamable,
  it returns to the realm of nothing.
  Form that includes all forms,
  image without an image,
  subtle, beyond all conception.
  
  Approach it and there is no beginning;
  follow it and there is no end.
  You can't know it, but you can be it,
  at ease in your own life.
  Just realize where you come from:
  this is the essence of wisdom.

  Laozi
