It's the coward who says, 'This is fate'...It's the strong who stands up & says 'I will make my fate'

Every soul is destined to be perfect, and every being, in the end, will attain the state of perfection.

We are the makers of our own lives. There is no such thing as fate. Our lives are the result of our previous actions, our karma, and it naturally flows that, having been ourselves the makers of our karma, we must also be able to unmake it.

Man is the nearest approach to Brahman.

Nothing is gained except by sacrifice.... Do not degrade it to the level of the brutes.... Make yourselves decent men! ... Be chaste and pure! ... There is no other way. Did Christ find any other way?

Action will come. Fill yourselves with the ideal; whatever you do, think well on it. All your actions will be magnified, transformed, deified, by the very power of the thought. If matter is powerful, thought is omnipotent. Bring this thought to bear upon your life, fill yourselves with the thought of your almightiness, your majesty, and your glory.

Take off the veil of hypnotism which you have cast upon the world, send not out thoughts and words of weakness unto humanity.
