Change is always in regard to something which does not change, or which changes relatively less.

It is fear that is the greatest cause of misery in the world.

There is no virtue higher than non-injury.

It is too often believed that a person in his progress towards perfection passes from error to truth; that when he passes on from one thought to another, he must necessarily reject the first. But no error can lead to truth. The soul passing through its different stages goes from truth to truth, and each stage is true; it goes from lower truth to higher truth.

Life in this world is an attempt to see God.

We are for ever trying to make our weakness look like strength, our sentiment like love, our cowardice like courage, and so on.

All want power, but few will wait to gain it for themselves.
