Our only limitations are those we set up in our own minds.

You are the master of your destiny. You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be.

Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.

Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it.

You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.

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

You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.

All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.

External nature is only internal nature writ large.

Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself.

Concern should drive us into action and not into a depression. No man is free who cannot control himself.

Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk of you as they please.

To find yourself, think for yourself.

I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.

I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing.

Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others have labored hard for.

I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self.

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.

Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.

Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.

When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.

If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.
