You will find rest from vain fancies if you perform every act in life as though it were your last.

We always like those who admire us; we do not always like those whom we admire.

Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that setbacks and griefs which endure help us in our march forward.

He that hunts others, must run himself.

The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.

In all Chaos there is a Cosmos, In all Disorder a secret Order.

If I had to define life in a word, it would be: Life is creation.

They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.

Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

Let us resolve to be masters, not victims, of our history, controlling our own destiny without giving way to blind suspicions and emotions.

I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.

I have brought myself, by long meditation, to the conviction that a human being with settled purpose must accomplish it, and that nothing can resist a will which will stake even existence upon its fulfillment.

Free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or good or joy worth having.

Learn to get in touch with silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.

This is the law: The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.

What signifies knowing the names, if you know not the nature of things?

Time is the scarcest resource and unless it is managed nothing else can be managed.

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

Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.
