May the shadow of the Almighty ever rest on all those you love.

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

I am a slave of Ramakrishna, who left his work to be done by me and will not give me rest till I have finished it. And oh, how shall I speak of him? Oh, his love for me!

Every step I take in light is mine forever.

We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in the future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.

Any time you attempt to make a God beyond Christ, you murder the whole thing. God alone can worship God.

Work on with the intrepidity of a lion but at the same time with the tenderness of a flower.
