Remember that cosmic fact and mental myth cannot occupy the same place at the same time, any more than two hands can occupy the same glove. So choose what is truly right for you.

A clear understanding of negative emotions dismisses them.

A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of sheep.

Evil wants you to think that its power is absolute, endless. It wants to so make you quake and quiver that all you'll do is fall down and worship it.

We must get to the point in our lives. What is the point? To become a new kind of man or woman, having inner command and outer excellence.

They are weaknesses disguised as power.

Make it your profitable habit to carefully study facial expressions. You can see the entire human drama in a face; you can tell its owner's history.

We are exactly where we have chosen to be.

Start your day in a upward direction, and the rest of the day will follow the uphill path.

Tell a man that he is putting on a stage performance in order to get what he wants, and he will irritably reject your observation. Why? Because most people go through life as cunning actors with a permanent horror of getting found out.

A certain number of people seek power over other people in a desperate attempt to find themselves. They fail, for self-discovery is spiritual in nature, not social or political. Authoritatively telling other people what to do is their distraction from an inner emptiness they can never fill.
