“The earth is enjoyed by heroes”- this is the unfailing truth. Be a hero. Always say, “I have no fear.”

This is the first lesson to learn: be determined not to curse anything outside, not to lay the blame upon anyone outside, but stand up, lay the blame on yourself. You will find that is always true. Get hold of yourself.

Blame nobody else, do not commit the mistake of the ignorant.

Books are infinite in number and time is short. The secret of knowledge is to take what is essential. Take that and try to live up to it.

We, we, and none else, are responsible for what we suffer. We are the effects, and we are the causes.

If you are pure, if you are strong, you, one man are equal to the whole world.

It is the greatest manifestation of power to be calm.

The remedy for weakness is not brooding over weakness, but thinking of strength.

When death is so certain, it is better to die for a good cause.

The test of progress is the amount of renunciation that one has attained.

In whatever name or form they are offered, all these flowers are laid at God’s feet, for He is the one Lord of all, the one Soul of all souls.

All the forces that are working in this body have been produced out of food; we see that every day.

Man always is perfect, or he never could become so; but he had to realise it.

Be grateful that the poor man is there, so that by making a gift to him you are able to help yourself.

Neither money pays, nor name pays, nor fame, nor learning; it is CHARACTER that cleave through adamantine walls of difference.

I have come to this conclusion that there is only one country in the world which understands religion – it is India.

The awakening of the soul to its bondage and its effort to stand up and assert itself – this is called life.

It’s better not to know so much about what things mean or how they might be interpreted or you’ll be too afraid to let things keep happening.

We lend power to the things we fear!

If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears.

Fear has no brains; it is an idiot.

I still get very scared when I step in front of a live audience.

It’s the attitude about life, man. Looking at the light instead of the dark. Looking at love instead of fear.

You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn’t exist anywhere except in the mind.

Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive – the risk to be alive and express what we really are.
