“If you defy an enemy by doubting his courage you double it.”

No discussion can throw light if it wanders from the real point.

A man’s heart is his own Neter.

Your body is the temple of knowledge.

We mustn’t confuse mastery with mimicry, knowledge with superstitious ignorance.

Envious greed must govern to possess and ambition must possess to govern.

If you defy an enemy by doubting his courage you double it.

What you are doing does not matter so much as what you are learning from doing it.

A pupil may show you by his own efforts how much he deserves to learn from you.

When the governing class isn’t chosen for quality it is chosen for material wealth: this always means decadence, the lowest stage a society can reach.

Each truth you learn will be, for you, as new as if it had never been written.

The body is the house of god. That is why it is said, “Man know yourself.”

As to deserving, know that the gift of heaven is free; this gift of Knowledge is so great that no effort whatever could hope to ‘deserve’ it.

To know means to record in one’s memory; but to understand means to blend with the thing and to assimilate it oneself.

If you are searching for a Neter, observe Nature!

If his heart rules him, his conscience will soon take the place of the rod.

To teach one must know the nature of those whom one is teaching.
