March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.

 

No man can reveal to you nothing but that which already lies half-asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.

 

Your daily life is your temple and your religion. When you enter into it take with you your all.

 

Much of your pain is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.

 

Life is indeed darkness save when there is urge, and all urge is blind save when there is knowledge, and all knowledge is vain save when there is work, and all work is empty save when there is love.

 

If my survival caused another to perish, then death would be sweeter and more beloved.

If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work.

 

Nor shall derision prove powerful against those who listen to humanity or those who follow in the footsteps of divinity, for they shall live forever. Forever.

 

All you have shall someday be given; therefore give now, that the season of giving may be yours and not your inheritors.
