Truth on your Back

If you don't work hard, it will be too late. You must not be always too late [laughs, laughter] or too fast [hurried]. Truth is here, you know, right here. You should not be too late or too fast. Right here. It is written on your back [laughing, laughter]. All the scriptures is written on your back and front.

Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 65-07-29-B as found on shunryusuzuki.com - Edited by DC
