Fragments of 'Fragments for an Apocryphal Gospal'

-Lucky are those who know that suffering is not a crown of heavenly bliss.
-Happy is he who forgives others and who forgives himself.
-Blessed are there merciful,for their happiness is in the act of mercy and not in the hope of reward.
-Blessed are the pure in heart, for they see God.
-Let the light of one lamp be lit, even though no man see it. God will see it.
-Do not hate your enemy, for if you do, you are in some way his slave. Your hate will never be greater than your peace.
-Do not make too much of the cult of truth; there is no man who at the end of a day has not lied, rightly, numerous times.
-Resist evil, but without shock and without anger. Whoever strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to him, as long as you are not moved by fear.
-Believe that others are just or will be, and if it proves untrue, it is not your fault.
-Seek the pleasure of seeking, not of finding...
-Happy are the brave, who accept applause or defeat in the same spirit.
-Happy are the loved and the lovers and those who can do without love.
-Happy are the happy.

-LJB
