Even if one does not quote appropriate texts much, if one follows the principles of the Teaching by getting rid of greed, hatred and delusion, deep of insight and a mind free of attachment.. 
Dhammapada 1.20




She wished to be a partner of the whole.

She lived in the simple past, a step behind,
and that gave her pause.

And then

it happened. 

The present moment overwhelmed her,
took her breath away.

She sat down. Her mind sat with her.

Here, her mind said, stay with me a little while longer.

Everything that troubles you will be there tomorrow.

But you and I are here now.
