"We learn the rope of life by untying its knots."
"Most novices picture themselves as masters - and are content with the picture. This is why there are so few masters."
"Talk about it only enough to do it. Dream about it only enough to feel it. Think about it only enough to understand it. Contemplate it only enough to be it."
"We never know we are beings till we love. And then it is we know the powers and potentialities of human existence."
"We do not posses imagination enough to sense what we are missing."
