Answer 1

I keep saying that? I don't think so!

From a framed note in a successful store in the 70s ::

"People try to be what they are not. If we'd just be, we'd become who we really are!"

Don't you know that every answer to every question is already within you?

See :: Koan, "A puzzling, often paradoxical statement or story, used in Zen Buddhism as an aid to meditation and a means of gaining spiritual awakening."
