“Fear is death, fear is sin, fear is hell, fear is unrighteousness, and fear is wrong life. All the negative thoughts and ideas that are in the world have proceeded from this evil spirit of fear.”

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.

Dependence is misery. Independence is happiness.

Learn to feel yourself in other bodies, to know that we are all one. Throw all other nonsense to the winds. Spit out your actions, good or bad, and never think of them again. What is done is done. Throw off superstition. Have no weakness even in the face of death. Be free.

We have either to progress or to degenerate. Our ancestors did great things in the past, but we have to grow into a fuller life and march beyond even their great achievements.

Everyone goes with the flow. But the one who goes against the flow becomes someone remarkable in life.

Do not fret because the world looks with suspicion at every new attempt, even though it be in the path of spirituality.

He not busy being born is busy dying.

Choices will continually be necessary and — let us not forget — possible. Obedience to God is always possible. It is a deadly error to fall into the notion that when feelings are extremely strong we can do nothing but act on them.

I felt suicidal. I couldn’t stop crying. I remember thinking, wouldn’t it be great if the car crashed and I died?

Let us live in such a way as not to be afraid to die.

There is nothing waste, nothing sterile, nothing dead in the universe; no chaos, no confusions, save in appearance.

Charity is the soul of faith, makes it alive; without love, faith dies.

In my experience, depth of work consists of two components. The first is recklessness; the second is discipline.

The hardest part of living is experiencing death without dying.
