The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.

An ambitious horse will never return to its old stable.

In the afflictions, misfortunes and tribulations of life only he who actively helps us is our friend.

One should keep oneself five yards distant from a carriage, ten yards from a horse, a hundred yards from an elephant; but the distance one should keep from a wicked man cannot be measured.

Practice is the repeated effort to follow the disciplines which give permanent control of the thought waves of the mind. Practice becomes firmly grounded when it has been cultivated for a long time, uninterruptedly, with earnest devotion.
