By cultivating the beautiful we scatter the seeds of heavenly flowers, as by doing good we cultivate those that belong to humanity.

We are exactly where we have chosen to be.

Just be honest with yourself. That opens the door.

A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of sheep.

Self-knowledge is the great power by which we comprehend and control our lives

You have succeeded in life when all you really WANT is only what you really NEED.

Our freedom can be measured by the number of things we can walk away from.

To change what you get, you must change who you are.

You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.

Learn to see things as they really are, not as we imagine they are.

Truth is not a matter of personal viewpoint.

Humanity appreciates truth about as much as a squirrel appreciates silver.

Never fear to deliberately walk through dark places, for that is how you reach the light on the other side.

Evil is an attack against human spiritual development and enlightenment. All evil, badness, neurosis - it has one motive and one motive only, which is to destroy - to destroy your chance of arising above yourself.

The following terms all mean one and the same thing: God, goodness, mental health, truth, decency, happiness, freedom, reality, peace, love, sensibleness.

Always walk through life as if you have something new to learn and you will.

Some folks hesitate to seize additional strength because they think it wrong or dangerous to be a powerful individual. Somehow they have acquired the false notion that tyranny or dictatorship or cruelty are the outcomes of a powerful personality. These characteristics are not power. They are weaknesses disguised as power.

Inner guidance is heard like soft music in the night by those who have learned to listen.
