Well has it been said that man is the only animal that naturally looks upwards; every other animal naturally looks down.

Form and formless are intertwined in this world. The formless can only be expressed in form and form can only be thought with the formless.

The person is only a phenomenon, the principle is behind it. Thus from both sides, simultaneously, we find the breaking down of personalities and the approach towards principles, the Personal God approaching the Impersonal, the personal man approaching the Impersonal Man.

One who leans on others cannot serve the God of Truth.

Never forget that a man is made great and perfect as much by his faults as by his virtues. So we must not seek to rob a nation of its character, even if it could be proved that the character was all faults.

Pleasure is not the goal of man, but knowledge. Pleasure and happiness comes to an end. It is a mistake to suppose that pleasure is the goal. The cause of all the miseries we have in the world is that men foolishly think pleasure to be the ideal to strive for. After a time man finds that it is not happiness, but knowledge, towards which he is going, and that both pleasure and pain are great teachers.

We reap what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate. None else has the blame, none has the praise.
