No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart.

There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.

Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.

A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

However many holy words you read, However many you speak, What good will they do you If you do not act on upon them?

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.
