The supernatural is the natural not yet understood.

Nothing is more precious than being in the present moment. Fully alive, fully aware.

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases. Each of us carries his own life-form—an indeterminable form which cannot be superseded by any other.

For all men strive to grasp what they do not know, while none strive to grasp what they already know; and all strive to discredit what they do not excel in, while none strive to discredit what they do excel in. This is why there is chaos.

There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public.

Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.

The more I study science the more I believe in God.

If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.

One beautiful heart is better than a thousand beautiful faces.
