“Are we dealing with doubt or with unbelief?

In order to realize our true self we must be willing to live without being dependent upon the opinion of others. When we are completely self-sufficient we can have no fear of not being esteemed by others.

One should do nothing that is not natural or spontaneous; the important thing is not to strain in any way.

Wait in the calm strength of patience – he that is strong should guard it with tenderness.

Only the self-sufficient stand alone – most people follow the crowd and imitate

There is no weapon more deadly than the will.

Long-term consistency trumps short-term intensity. Bruce Lee

It is not how much you have learned, but how much you have absorbed in what you have learned.

Not “what” to think but “how” to think.

An intelligent mind is one which is constantly learning, never concluding – styles and patterns have come to conclusion, therefore they have ceased to be intelligent.

Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.

Pleasure is the flower that fades, remembrance is the lasting perfume.

There is intelligence when you are not afraid.

To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities

A goal is not always meant to be reached. It often serves simply as something to aim at.

Keep your mind on the things you want and off those you don’t.

Research your own experience; absorb what is useful, reject what is useless and add what is essentially your own.

Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

Be like water; water has form and yet it has no form. It is the softest element on earth, yet it penetrates the hardest rock.

A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.

Remember my friend that it is not what happens that counts, it is how you react to them.

Your mental attitude determines what you make of it, either a stepping stone or stumbling block.

The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus.

Remember, success is a journey, not a destination. Have faith in your ability. You will do just fine.

It is not daily increase but daily decrease – hack away the unessential! The closer to the source, the less wastage there is.

What you habitually think largely determines what you will ultimately become.

No one can hurt you unless you allow him to.

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do

Empty yourself! Open up! After all, the usefulness of a cup is in its emptiness.

Ever since I was a kid, the word “quality” has meant a lot to me.

Defeat is a state of mind; no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.

Do not precede others, always follow them.

The inner self is the true self.

The truth is outside of all fixed patterns.

A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough.

Faith without work is death.

Faith backed by action is applied faith.

Thoughts backed by faith will overcome all obstacles.

Don’t strive to become, but be.

Be flexible so you can change with change.

When one is not “expressing” himself, he is not free.

It is later than you think! Know yourself!

Intelligence is the understanding of self

Be “self-aware” rather than a repetitious robot.

The law of averages: put in more, come out with more.

Failure is what your mind acknowledges.

No man is defeated unless he is discouraged.

One must always strive to be better. The sky’s the limit.

Be a practical dreamer backed by action.

If you want to do your duty properly, you should do just a little more than that.
