Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts. |
Better far than cowardice is killing and being killed in battle. |

Breach of promise is a base surrender of truth. |
But for my faith in God, I should have been a raving maniac. |
Confession of errors is like a broom which sweeps away the dirt and leaves the surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger for confession. |
Consciously or unconsciously, everyone of us does render some service or another. If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and it will make not only for our own happiness, but that of the world at large. |
Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position. |
Destruction is not the law of humans. Man lives freely only by his readiness to die, if need be, at the hands of his brother, never by killing him. Every murder or other injury, no matter for what cause, committed or inflicted on another is a crime against humanity. |

Everyone has faith in God though everyone does not know it. For everyone has faith in himself and that multiplied to the nth degree is God. The sum total of all that lives is God. We may not be God, but we are of God, even as a little drop of water is of the ocean. |
Everyone who wills can hear the inner voice. It is within everyone. |
Evil is, good or truth misplaced. |
