~ Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. ~

~ My strength is as the strength of ten, because my heart is pure. ~

~ There are admirable potentialities in every human being. Believe in your strength and your truth. Learn to repeat endlessly to yourself. "It all depends on me." ~

~ Every minute you are thinking of evil, you might have been thinking of good instead. Refuse to pander to a morbid interest in your own misdeeds. Pick yourself up, be sorry, shake yourself, and go on again. ~

~ I hear an almost inaudible but pervasive discontent with the price we pay for our current materialism. And I hear a fluttering of hope that there might be more to life than bread and circuses. ~

~ Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal. My strength lies solely in my tenacity. ~

~ Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair but manifestations of strength and resolution. ~

~ All our talents increase in the using, and the every faculty, both good and bad, strengthen by exercise. ~

~ Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well. There is nothing more potent than thought. Deed follows word and word follows thought. The word is the result of a mighty thought, and where the thought is mighty and pure the result is always mighty and pure. ~

~ Be bold - and mighty forces will come to your aid. ~

~ Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential. ~

~ Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checked by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat. ~

~ Great works are performed not by strength, but by perseverance. ~

~ Greater than the tread of mighty armies is an idea whose time has come. ~

~ He knows not his own strength that hath not met adversity. ~
