As there are silent depths in the ocean which the fiercest storm cannot reach, so there are silent, holy depths of the hearts of people which the storm of sin and sorrow can never disturb. To reach this silence and to live consciously in it is peace.

As the smallest drop of water detached from the ocean contains all the qualities of the ocean, so man, detached in consciousness from the Infinite, contains within him its likeness; and as the drop of water must, by the law of its nature, ultimately find its way back to the ocean and lose itself in its silent depths, so must man, by the unfailing law of his nature, at last return to his source, and lose himself in the great ocean of the Infinite.

The more intense the nature of a man, the more readily will he find meditation, and the more successfully will he practice it.

No temptation can gravitate to a man unless there is that is his heart which is capable of responding to it.

Your circumstances may be uncongenial, but they shall not long remain so if you but perceive an Ideal and strive to reach it.

Thought is the fountain of action, life and manifestation; make the fountain pure, and all will be pure.

Circumstances do not make the man, they reveal him.
