The best principles in our lives were those which we heard from our mothers through our ears.

Well has it been said that man is the only animal that naturally looks upwards; every other animal naturally looks down. That looking upward and going upward and seeking perfection are what is called salvation; and the sooner a man begins to go higher, the sooner he raises himself towards this idea of truth as salvation.

There is no end to the power a man can obtain.

Stand as a rock; you are indestructible. You are the Self (atman), the God of the universe.

Whether on the ground of materialism, or of intellect, or of spirituality, the compensation that is given by the Lord to every one impartially is exactly the same. Therefore we must not think that we are the saviours of the world. We can teach the world, a good many things, and we can learn a good many things from it too. We can teach the world only what it is waiting for.

Whatever is weak, avoid! It is death.

March on, the Lord is our General.
