If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.

The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.

I am conscious of my inability to grasp, in all its details and positive developments, any very large portion of human knowledge.

External nature is only internal nature writ large.

The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves!

The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.
