In all your relations to men be great, just, generous, courteous, and kindly. The great are never otherwise.

An ounce of doing things is worth a pound of theorizing.

Only those who do not fill the places they are holding slow the progress of the world

Do not talk about your greatness; you are really, in essential nature, no greater than those around you.

Do not merely think that you are great; think that you are great now. Do not think that you will begin to act in a great way at some future time; begin now.

Do not wait for an opportunity to be all that you want to be.

A person may come into full harmony with the formless substance by entertaining a lively and sincere gratitude for the blessings it bestows upon him.
