Fearlessness is the first requisite of spirituality. Cowards can never be moral.

True morality consists not in following the beaten track, but in finding the true path for ourselves, and fearlessly following it.

Morality is the basis of things and truth is the substance of all morality.

Let the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day:

- I shall not fear anyone on Earth.
- I shall fear only God.
- I shall not bear ill will toward anyone.
- I shall not submit to injustice from anyone.
- I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth, I shall put up with all suffering.

I reject any religious doctrine that does not appeal to reason and is in conflict with morality.

Morality which depends upon the helplessness of a man or woman has not much to recommend it. Morality is rooted in the purity of our hearts.
