Like a lion, without fear of the howling pack; Like a gust of wind, ne'er trapped in a snare; Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water; Like me, like a unicorn, in solitude roam. --Hymn Of Buddha--

"Thought ordinarily leads outwardly in evolutionary directions, but it can be turned within where it will take hold of the basic principles of things, the heart of things, the spirit of things. When you get to the heart of things it is comparatively easy to understand and commend them. This is because the Spirit of the thing is the thing itself, the vital part of it, the real substance." Charles Haanel, 'The Master Key', (1917)
