“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life.”

You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.

They alone live who live for others.

We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.

In a conflict between the heart and the brain, follow your heart.

Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.

The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.

All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life — think of it, dream of it, live on that idea.
