The idol is the expression of religion.

It is the hero alone, not the coward, who has liberation within his easy reach.

Whatever you think, that you will be. If you think yourselves weak, weak you will be; if you think yourselves strong, strong you will be.

We must travel; we must go to foreign parts. We must see how the engine of society works in other countries, and keep free and open communication with what is going on in the minds of other nations, if we really want to be a nation again.

Let us calmly and in a manly fashion go to work, instead of dissipating our energy in unnecessary frettings and fumings.

The past was great no doubt, but I sincerely believe that the future will be more glorious still.

Never are we nearer the Light than when the darkness is deepest.
