With it, and with it alone, we are able to sacrifice for others.

The student who sets out with such a spirit of perseverance will surely find success and realization at last.
Who looks outside, dreams… who looks inside, awakes.
He who would be master of himself shall win it, if he bravely strives.
Human anguish is the product of the loss by man of his true identity.
Truth is as impossible to be soiled by any outward touch as the sunbeam.
Look within. Let neither the special quality of anything, nor its value, escape you.
