Can everybody contact the higher forces? No, not indeed; but they submit themselves to a discipline and this brings them success.

To hope for a true change of human life without a change of human nature is an irrational and unspiritual proposition.

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

If Hell were possible, it would be the shortest cut to the highest heaven. For verily God loveth.
