The greatest good we can do for others is not just to share our riches with them, but to reveal theirs.
Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty, and Beauty is loved because it is Being. We ourselves possess Beauty when we are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another order; knowing ourselves, we are beautiful; in self-ignorance, we are ugly.
Four thousand volumes of metaphysics will not teach us what the soul is
When the feelings in the heart are true, then whatever the mind thinks will be right.
How far to heaven? Just open your eyes and look. You are in heaven.
Sleep when you feel tired and eat when you are hungry.
Awaken, My children, and see the light. Seize the opportunity which you now have and break away from the grooves of the past. Follow the Master and experience the utter bliss which comes from union with God, a life lived in complete harmony with he Infinite.
Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
Rise above little things. Be a big thinker. You are what you think. So just think big, believe big, act big, dream big, work big, give big, forgive big, laugh big, love big, live big. Carry that list and you'll start feeling big. Be a believer and you'll be an achiever.
Enthusiasm...the sustaining power of all great action.
We all find occasion to reject and resist another person. We all like to put up a fight against anything we dislike on the evening news as we spectate the world. But we forget that when we decide we will resist something or somebody, either mentally or physically, we only empower the object of our resistance, either in reality or in our own minds. If you want to enjoy the ability to influence, always start with acceptance. If you want to disarm another begin with acceptance. If you want to encourage and empower another to change, start with acceptance. Dont make it conditional. Otherwise its just resistance disguised as acceptance, and you are still trying to control them. And we can all smell a controller...cant you?
What greater pain could mortals have than this: To see their children dead before their eyes?
If you ever find yourself defending a position, explaining why, or justifying anything, it means you have been defeated. It means you have not been able to accept the others point of view, or the fact that you may be wrong. Fear has conquered your mind and your heart. Your defences are up and you are running scared. It's not that the other person has conquered you, it's the self-created fear that is in control. Until you can accept the other (you don't have to agree) and you are not threatened by the other, your victories will be delayed. It's a funny old world when true winning is accepting not resisting, when victory is found in the wisdom to stop fighting and to begin engaging.
A conservative is a man who is too cowardly to fight and too fat to run.
The elevated aim of doing more and speaking less will make you great.
