“You never hear of a mother cursing the child; she is forgiving, always forgiving.”

“I am persuaded that a leader is not made in one life. He has to be born for it. For the difficulty is not in organisation and making plans; the test, the real test, of the leader, lies in holding widely different people together along the line of their common sympathies. And this can only be done unconsciously, never by trying.”

“In extraordinary events ignorance of their causes produces astonishment.”

“A great cause of the night is lack of the sun.”

“Thought is the fountain of action, life and manifestation; make the fountain pure, and all will be pure.”

“I have been a selfish being all my life, in practice, though not in principle.”

“I dislike death, however, there are some things I dislike more than death. Therefore, there are times when I will not avoid danger.”

“The only tyrant I accept in this world is the 'still small voice' within me. And even though I have to face the prospect of being a minority of one, I humbly believe I have the courage to be in such a hopeless minority.”
