Man cannot be satisfied by wealth. Man cannot go beyond his nature, no more than you can jump out of your body.

Work done for the Self gives no bondage. Neither desire pleasure nor fear pain from work. It is the mind and body that work, not I. Tell yourself this unceasingly and realise it. Try not to know that you work.

Man is man so long as he is struggling to rise above nature, and this nature is both internal and external.

Man the infinite dreamer, dreaming finite dreams!

If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.

Work hard, be steady, and have faith in the Lord. Set to work.

The happiest moments we ever know are when we entirely forget ourselves.
