Wisdom is not knowledge, but lies in the use we make of knowledge.

What we call "willing" is often but an inflation of ourselves, attended by a hardening.

What each one of us fundamentally needs is that inner peace which is to be discovered solely within ourselves, which no-one else can give, which the world with all its resources, can never supply.

There is no wisdom without love.

What keeps us playing our parts and going round and round the three lower worlds is not a Divine dictate, but ourselves, our own will-to-live, which comes from within ourselves.

Wisdom is not a matter of study, but a matter of living, and of sure action which rises above opposites.

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.
