A new conception of life cannot be imposed on men; it can only be freely assimilated. And it can only be freely assimilated in two ways: onespiritual and internal, the other experimental and external.

Physical strength can never permanently withstand the impact of spiritual force.

Life is continued work. It's constant learning. The whole concept of retirement I don't even buy into. We should constantly be working. Maybe not physically working, but we could be spiritually, emotionally working toward bettering ourselves and bettering the lives of others around us.

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.

If you find no one to support you on the spiritual path, walk alone. There is no companionship with the immature.

To insist on a spiritual practice that served you in the past is to carry the raft on your back after you have crossed the river.
