A considerable percentage of the people we meet on the street are people who are empty inside, that is, they are actually already dead. It is fortunate for us that we do not see and do not know it. If we knew what a number of people are actually dead and what a number of these dead people govern our lives, we should go mad with horror.

One of the best means for arousing the wish to work on yourself is to realize that you may die at any moment. But first you must learn how to keep it in mind.

Never think of results, just do!

Nothing can be attained without suffering but at the same time one must begin by sacrificing suffering.

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

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

You can never awaken using the same system that put you to sleep in the first place.
