War is a dangerous teacher and physical victory leads often to a moral defeat.

Perfect health, sincerity, honesty, straightforwardness, courage, disinterestedness, unselfishness, patience, endurance, perseverance, peace, calm, self control are all things that are taught infinitely better by example than by beautiful speeches.

To be free from all egoistic motive, careful of truth in speech and action, void of self-will and self-assertion, watchful in all things, is the condition for being a flawless servant.

This world is a vast unbroken totality, a deep solidarity joins its contrary powers.

To make a revolution is not in the grain of our people's nature.

Arise, transcend Thyself, Thou art man and the whole nature of man Is to become more than himself.

If it be true that spirit is involved in Matter and apparent Nature is secret God, then the manifestation in the divine in himself and the realization of God within and without are the highest and most legitimate aim possible to man on earth.
