I am one of the proudest men ever born, but let me tell you frankly, it is not for myself, but on account of my ancestry. The more I have studied the past, the more I have looked back, more and more has this pride come to me, and it has given me the strength and courage of conviction, raised me up from the dust of the earth, and set me working out that great plan laid out by those great ancestors of ours.

You yourself are to blame. This weeping and wailing and knocking your heads into corners [against brick walls, as it were] will not do you the least good.

To believe that mind is all, that thought is all is only a higher materialism.

No two persons have the same mind or the same body.

To realize the spirit as spirit is practical religion. Everything else is good so far as it leads to this one grand idea.

Meditation means the mind is turned back upon itself. The mind stops all the thought-waves and the world stops. Your consciousness expands. Every time you meditate you will keep your growth.

If you have knowledge and see a man weak, do not condemn him. Go to his level and help him if you can. He must grow.
