When mental energy is allowed to follow the line of least resistance and to fall into easy channels, it is called weakness.

A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.

The will to do springs from the knowledge that we can do.

A particular train of thought persisted in, be it good or bad, cannot fail to produce its results on the character and circumstances. A man cannot directly choose his circumstances, but he can choose his thoughts, and so indirectly, yet surely, shape his circumstances.

The vision that you glorify in your mind, the Ideal that you enthrone in your heart - this you will build your life by, this you will become.

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

A person is limited only by the thoughts that he chooses.
