“Comfort is no test of truth. Truth is often far from being comfortable.”

“The earth is enjoyed by heroes”—this is the unfailing truth. Be a hero. Always say, “I have no fear.”

“All truth is eternal. Truth is nobody’s property; no race, no individual can lay any exclusive claim to it. Truth is the nature of all souls.”

“If a man can realize his divine nature with the help of an image, would it be right to call that a sin? Nor, even when he has passed that stage, should he call it an error. [...] man is not traveling from error to truth, but from truth to truth, from lower to higher truth. To him all the religions from the lowest fetishism to the highest absolutism, mean so many attempts of the human soul to grasp and realize the Infinite, each determined by the conditions of its birth and association, and each of these marks a stage of progress; and every soul is a young eagle soaring higher and higher, gathering more and more strength till it reaches the Glorious Sun.”

“Dare to be free, dare to go as far as your thought leads, and dare to carry that out in your life.”

“The greatest truths are the simplest things in the world, simple as your own existence.”

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