Never trust anybody not of sound religion, for he that is false to God can never be true to man.

Solitude shows us what we should be society shows us what we are.

Reverence is one of the signs of strength, irreverence one of the surest indications of weakness --- no man will rise high who jeers at sacred things. The fine loyalties of life must be revered or they will be forsworn in the days of trial.

The difficulties, hardships and trials of life, the obstacles one encounters on the road to fortune - are positive blessings. They knit the muscles more firmly, and teach self-reliance. Peril is the element in which power is developed.

- Swami Bhajannanda

Steadfastness to duty on the other hand, strengthens man and aids the building of character.

- Swami Purnananda

If you do what you should not, you must bear what you would not.

- Franklin

Be not the fourth friend of him who had three before and lost them.

- Tavater

All men have their frailties; and whoever looks for a friend without imperfections, will never find what he seeks. We love ourselves notwithstanding our fault, and we ought to love our friends in like manner.

- Cyrus

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which strengthens with the setting sun of life.

- La Fontaine

If thou art a master, be sometimes blind, if a servant, sometimes deaf.

- Fuller

Men seldom die of hard work; activity is God's medicine. The highest genius is willingness and ability to do hard work. Any other conception of genius makes it a doubtful, if not a dangerous possession.

- R.S. MacArthur
