There can be no progress nor achievement without sacrifice, and a man's worldly success will be by the measure that he sacrifices his confused animal thoughts, and fixes his mind on the development of his plans, and the strengthening of his resolution and self-reliance.

Thus meditating you will no longer strive to build yourself up in your prejudices, but, forgetting self, you will remember only that you are seeking the Truth.

As the physically weak man can make himself strong by careful and patient training, so the man of weak thoughts can make them strong by exercising himself in right thinking.

As he thinks, so he is; as he continues to think, so he remains.

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

Happiness is mental harmony; unhappiness is mental inharmony.
