Wisdom is not a question of learning facts with the mind; it can only be acquired through perfection of living.

Let your courage mount with difficulties. There would be no will if there were no resistance.

Man is more than his environment. It is from the innate quality of the Spirit in him, his inner storehouse, that he draws those ideas, his intuitions, which unify his perceptions of the external world instantaneously with a value which is qualitative and not quantitative, and which he embodies in the works of his culture - those achievements which belong not only to one particular time but to all times, and mark the path of his upward progress.

The will is a product of integrity, not a child of contradictions.

Each must discover his own way in life, and that way lies in his heart. Let him delve deeply into the depths of his being; his true centre is not far from there.

No individual can ultimately fail. The Divinity which descends into humanity is bound to re-gain its original state.

He is the wise man who has by perfect living gained the instinct of rightness by which he guides himself, whether in thought or action, who has found that centre of balance which is always over his point of contact with circumstances. He is the man whom Nature pours the riches of all her instincts.
