“Let him who has courage in his mind and love in his heart come with me. I want none else.”

If in this hell of a world one can bring a little joy and peace even for a day into the heart of a single person, that much alone is true; this I have learnt after suffering all my life; all else is mere moonshine.

Do not desire, for what you desire you get, and with it comes terrible bondage. It is nothing but bringing “noses on us,” as in the case of the man who had three boons to ask. We never get freedom until we are self-contained. “Self is the Saviour of self, none else.”

Man makes the mistake of separating himself from God and identifying himself with the body.

Everything is easy when you are busy. But nothing is easy when you are lazy.

The attempt is to kill the false “I”, so that the real “I”, the Lord, will reign. “I the Lord thy God am a jealous God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me,” say the Hebrew scriptures.

What we call powers, secrets of nature, and force, are all within. In the external world are only a series of changes.

Take courage and work on. Patience and steady work- this is the only way.

Each soul is a star and all stars are set in the infinite azure, the eternal sky-the Lord.

Say, “I can do everything .” “Even if poison of a snake is powerless if you can firmly deny it.”

There is only one Soul in the Universe. There is no ‘you’ or ‘me’; all variety is merged into the absolute unity, the one infinite existence – God.

Persevere on, my brave lads, We have only just begun. Never despond! Never say enough!

Man’s experience in the world is to enable him to get out of its whirlpool.

You must all pay attention to your health first.

It is faith that makes a lion of a man.

Feel like Christ and you will be a Christ; feel like Buddha and you will be a Buddha. It is feeling that is the life, the strength, the vitality, without which no amount of intellectual activity can reach God.

Tell the truth boldly, whether it hurts or not. Never pander to weakness. If truth is too much for intelligent people and sweeps them away, let them go; the sooner the better.

People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.

Live out of your imagination, not your history.

The best weapons against the infamies of life are courage, wilfulness and patience. Courage strenthens, wilfulness is fun and patience provides tranquility.

I urge you to be as impudent as you dare. BE BOLD, BE BOLD, BE BOLD.

If you come across fear, stare it in its eyes. Face it and you will notice that fear fades away.

The courage of one’s opinions is always a form of calculating cowardice in the eyes of the other side.

Take courage and work on. Patience and steady work- this is the only way.

I believe in my gut. Most people intellectualize their instincts away, but when you feel something, you have to go for it. A Fistful of Dollars was a great instinct for me, because here I was, a guy who’s doing Rawhide.
