“He who has gotten rid of the disease of “tomorrow” has a chance of achieving what he is here for.”

Man must use what he has, not hope for what is not.

What is possible for individual man is impossible for the masses.

The man has the possibilities of getting free gradually from the mechanical laws.

The first reason for people’s slavery is our ignorance, and above all, our ignorance of ourselves.

There is a cosmic law which says that every satisfaction must be paid for with a dissatisfaction.

Humanity is moving in a circle. The progress in mechanical things of the past hundred years has proceeded at the cost of losing many other things which perhaps were much more important for it.

A miracle is not the breaking of physical laws, but rather represents laws which are incomprehensible to us.

Real love is a cosmic force which goes through us. If we crystallize it, it becomes the greatest power in the world.

That which is easy is bad for your inner life.

Time began when you were born. It will end when you die.

Sincerity is the key which will open the door through which you will see your separate parts, and you will see something quite new. You must go on trying to be sincere. Each day you put on a mask, and you must take it off little by little.

One of the strongest motives for wishing to work on yourself is the realization that you may die at any moment – only you must first realize this.

To know means to know all. Not to know all means not to know. In order to know all, it is only necessary to know a little. But, in order to know this little, it is first necessary to know pretty much.

Religion is doing; a man does not merely think his religion or feel it, he ‘lives’ his religion as much as he is able, otherwise it is not religion but fantasy or philosophy.

All who have come to me must have enema each day.

It is very difficult also to sacrifice one’s suffering. A man will renounce any pleasures you like but he will not give up his suffering.

The chance which now seems lost may present itself at the last moment.

A person who has not done one half his day’s work by ten o clock, runs a chance of leaving the other half undone.

All I ask is the chance to prove that money can’t make me happy.

Perhaps my best years are gone. When there was a chance of happiness. But I wouldn’t want them back. Not with the fire in me now. No, I wouldn’t want them back.

There was no difference between the behavior of a god and the operations of pure chance.

Notions of chance and fate are the preoccupations of men engaged in rash undertakings.

Normalize not giving second chances for mistakes that were inexcusable.

I would throw down roots with you if I ever had the chance. We’d grow strong in tender shoots, and bloom in burning hands.
