 There is a voice inside which speaks and says: ''This is the real me!''

 There is but one cause of human failure. And that is man's lack of faith in his true Self.

 There is little of the grand style about these new prism, pendulum and chronograph philosophers. They mean business, not chivalry. . . . the experimental method has quite changed the face of science so far as the latter is a record of mere work done.

 There is no more contemptible type of human character than that of the nerveless sentimentalist and dreamer who spends his life in a weltering sea of sensibility and emotion, but who never does a manly concrete deed.

 There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision

 There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision, and for whom the lighting of every cigar, the drinking of every cup, the time of rising and going to bed every day, and the beginning of every bit of work, are subjects of express volitional deliberation.

 There is nothing so absurd that it cannot be believed as truth if repeated often enough.

 There is only one thing a philosopher can be relied upon to do, and that is to contradict other philosophers.

 These then are my last words to you. Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.

 These then are my last words to you. Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.

 This life is worth living, we can say, since it is what we make it.

 This overcoming of all the usual barriers between the individual and the Absolute is the great mystic achievement. In mystic states we both become one with the Absolute and we become aware of our oneness. This is the everlasting and triumphant mystical tradition, hardly altered by differences of clime or creed.

 Time itself comes in drops.

 To be a real philosopher all that is necessary is to hate some one else's type of thinking.
