We want that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one's own feet.

If you really want to judge the character of a man, look not at his great performances. Every fool may become a hero at one time or another. Watch a man do his most common actions; those are indeed the things which will tell you the real character of a great man. Great occasions rouse even the lowest of human beings to some kind of greatness, but he alone is the really great man whose character is great always, the same wherever he be.

And here is the test of truth: Anything that makes you weak physically, intelectually, and spiritually, reject as poison; there is no life in it, it cannot be true.

He who has no faith in himself can never have faith in God. 

All power is within you; you can do anything and everything.

You cannot teach a child any more than you can grow a plant. All you can do is on the negative side - you can only help. It is a manifestation from within; it develops its own nature - you can only take away obstructions.
