More From Robert Frost

I will never forget that the only reason i'm standing here today is because somebody, somewhere stood up for me when it was risky. stood up when it was hard. stood up when it wasn't popular. and because that somebody stood up, a few more stood up. and then a few thousand stood up. and then a few million stood up. and standing up, with courage and clear purpose, they somehow managed to change the world.
Courage Purpose World
When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.

Inside every one of us is a garden, and every practitioner has to go back to their garden and take care of it. maybe in the past, you left in untended for a long time. you should know exactly what is going on in your own garden, and try to put everything in order. restore the beauty; restore the harmony in your garden. if it is well tended, many people will enjoy your garden.

For the white man to ask the black man if he hates him is just like the rapist asking the raped, or the wolf asking the sheep, 'do you hate me?' the white man is in no moral position to accuse anyone else of hate! why, when all of my ancestors are snake-bitten, and i'm snake-bitten, and i warn my children to avoid snakes, what does that snake sound like accusing me of hate-teaching?
Children Hate Teaching
If i go home and someone, and my child has blood running down her leg and someone tells me that a snake bit her, i'm going out and kill the snake. and when i find the snake, i'm not going to look and see if he has blood on his jaws.

Zen is to religion what a japanese "rock garden" is to a garden. zen knows no god, no afterlife, no good and no evil, as the rock-garden knows no flowers, herbs or shrubs. it has no doctrine or holy writ: its teaching is transmitted mainly in the form of parables as ambiguous as the pebbles in the rock-garden which symbolise now a mountain, now a fleeting tiger. when a disciple asks "what is zen?", the master's traditional answer is "three pounds of flax" or "a decaying noodle" or "a toilet stick" or a whack on the pupil's head.

How should spring bring forth a garden on hard stone? become earth, that you may grow flowers of many colors. for you have been heart-breaking rock. once, for the sake of experiment, be earth!
Wisdom Spring Flower
I didn’t want any flowers, i only wanted to lie with my hands turned up and be utterly empty. how free it is, you have no idea how free—— the peacefulness is so big it dazes you, and it asks nothing, a name tag, a few trinkets. it is what the dead close on, finally; i imagine them shutting their mouths on it, like a communion tablet.
Lying Flower Hands
You're always begging things to love you," he said, "as if you were a beggar for love. even the flowers, you have to fawn on them--
