Be perfectly hopeless. That is the highest state.

Only those who want nothing are masters of nature.

We only dream this bondage. Wake up and let it go.

It is our priveledge to be allowed to be charitable, for only so can we grow.

To think there is any imperfection creates it.

Thank God for giving you this world as a moral gymnasium to help your development, but never imagine you can help the world.

Unchaste imagination is as bad as unchaste action.

Truth must have no compromise.

No two people see the same world.

To call another a sinner is the worst think you can do.

Never want to go to heaven; that is the worst delusion.

No man should be judged by his defects.

Never judge a book by its cover.

Never pender to weakness.

The human form is the highest and man, the greatest being.

A perfect man's body mechanically does right.

Never lose faith in yourself; you can do anything in the universe.

We can give nothing to God; He gives all to us.

Give as the rose gives perfume, because it is its own nature, utterly unconscious of giving.

Books are useless to us untill our own book open.

Read man, he is living poem.

Spit out your action, good or bad, and never think of them again.

Do not cling to old superstitions, be ever ready for new truths.

He who struggles is better than he who never attempts.

Stand up for God. Let the world go. Have no compromise.

Material happiness is but a transformation of material sorrow.

Never think you can make the world better and happier.

The seeing of many is the great sin of all in the world. See all as self and love all; let all idea of separateness go.
