The sky never changes: it is the cloud that is changing Picture Quote #1

As thou thinkest, so art thou Picture Quote #1

Purity, patience and perseverance are the three essentials to success and above all love Picture Quote #1

The powers of the mind are like the rays of the sun when they are concentrated they illumine Picture Quote #1

Whenever there is a conflict between the pure heart and the intellect, always side with the pure heart Picture Quote #1

The best thermometer to the progress of a nation is its treatment of its women Picture Quote #1

Astrology and all these mystical things are generally signs of a weak mind Picture Quote #1

Live for an ideal, and that one ideal alone. Let it be so great, so strong, that there may be nothing else left in the mind; no place for anything else, no time for anything else Picture Quote #1

As soon as we identify ourselves with the work we do, we feel miserable; but if we do not identify ourselves with it, we do not feel that misery Picture Quote #1

We have to keep the body in good health; we have to take care of what we eat and drink, and what we do Picture Quote #1

I am persuaded that a leader is not made in one life. He has to be born for it. For the difficulty is not in organisation and making plans; the test, the real test, of the leader, lies in holding widely different people together along the line of their common sympathies. And this can only be done unconsciously, never by trying Picture Quote #1

The ideal of faith in ourselves is of the greatest help to us. If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished. Throughout the history of mankind, if any motive power has been more potent than another in the lives of all great men and women, it is that of faith in themselves Picture Quote #1

I do not believe in eternal progress, that we are growing on ever and ever in a straight line. It is too nonsensical to believe. There is no motion in a straight line. A straight line infinitely projected becomes a circle. The force sent out will complete the circle and return to its starting place Picture Quote #1

The greatest force is derived from the power of thought. The finer the element, the more powerful it is. The silent power of thought influences people even at a distance, because mind is one as well as many. The universe is a cobweb; minds are spiders Picture Quote #1

Work unto death! I am with you, and when I am gone, my spirit will work with you. This life comes and goes; wealth, fame, enjoyments are only of a few days. It is better, far better to die on the field of duty, preaching the truth, than to die like a worldly worm. Advance! Picture Quote #1

Delusion will vanish as the light becomes more and more effulgent, load after load of ignorance will vanish, and then will come a time when all else has disappeared and the sun alone shines Picture Quote #1

You have the right to work, but do not become so degenerate as to look for results. Work incessantly, but see something behind the work. Even good deeds can find a man in great bondage. Therefore be not bound by good deeds or by desires for name and fame Picture Quote #1

Tell the truth boldly, whether it hurts or not. Never pander to weakness. If truth is too much for intelligent people and sweeps them away, let them go; the sooner the better Picture Quote #1

The world is ready to give up its secrets if we only know how to knock, how to give it the necessary blow. The strength and force of the blow come through concentration Picture Quote #1

Watch people do their most common actions; these are indeed the things that will tell you the real character of a great person Picture Quote #1

Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way Picture Quote #1

Sincerity of conviction and purity of motive will surely gain the day; and even a small minority, armed with these, is surely destined to prevail against all odds Picture Quote #1

Perfect life is a contradiction in terms. Therefore we must always expect to find things not up to our highest ideal. Knowing this, we are bound to make the best of everything Picture Quote #1

The world is a demon. It is a kingdom of which the puny ego is king. Put it away and stand firm Picture Quote #1

Never talk about the faults of others, no matter how bad they may be. Nothing is ever gained by that. You never help one by talking about his fault; you do him an injury, and injure yourself as well Picture Quote #1

Whenever power is used for evil, it becomes diabolical; it must be used for good only Picture Quote #1

Real love is love for love’s sake. I do not ask health or money or life or salvation Picture Quote #1

Science, art, learning and metaphysical research all have their proper functions in life, but if you seek to blend them, you destroy their individual characteristics until, in time, you eliminate the spiritual, for instance, from the religious altogether Picture Quote #1
