“All knowledge leads to self-knowledge.”

“Self-knowledge involves relationship. To know oneself is to study one self in action with another person. Relationship is a process of self evaluation and self revelation. Relationship is the mirror in which you discover yourself - to be is to be related.”

“Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.”

“Knowledge earns you power, character earns you respect.”

“The consciousness of self is the greatest hindrance to the proper execution of all physical action.”

“The world is full of people who are determined to be somebody or to give trouble. They want to get ahead, to stand out. Such ambition has no use for a gung fu man, who rejects all forms of self-assertiveness and competition”

“Be self aware, rather than a repetitious robot”
