“As soon as extreme attachment comes, a man loses himself, he is no more master of himself, he is a slave.”

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.

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.

Consistency is the DNA of mastery.

Make me the the master of education, and I will undertake to change the world.

I believe in the discipline of mastering the best that other people have ever figured out. I don’t believe in just sitting down and trying to dream it all up yourself. Nobody’s that smart.

I know how to go, go, go. Stopping, I’ve learned is the stuff of mastery.

There has never been a master plan. Anyone who wanted to do it, we fired because it takes on a life of its own and doesn’t cover new reality. We want people taking into account new information.

Letting go is an art – master it and be free.

It is the fool who always rushes to take sides. Do not commit to any side or cause by yourself. By maintaining your independence, you become the master of others — playing people against one another, making them pursue you.

The amateur tweets. The pro works.
