You must have absolute faith in your own perceptions of truth. Never act in haste or hurry; be deliberated in everything; wait until you know the true way.

There are three motives for which we live; we live for the body, we live for the mind, we live for the soul. No one of these is better or holier than the other; all are alike desirable, and no one of the three—body, mind, or soul—can live fully if either of the others is cut short of full life and expression.

First, you believe that there is one intelligent substance, from which all things proceed. Second, you believe that this substance gives you everything you desire. And third, you relate yourself to it by a feeling of deep and profound gratitude.

No society could advance if everyone was smaller than his place.

You must cease from looking at human mistakes and look at successes; cease from seeing faults and see virtues.

I will trust and not be afraid.

Cast out pride and vanity; have no thought of trying to rule over others or of outdoing them.
