Man dies but once. My disciples must not be cowards.
Man cannot live upon words, however he may try.
Man cannot be satisfied by wealth. Man cannot go beyond his nature, no more than you can jump out of your body.
Man can think of divine things only in his own human way, to us the Absolute can be expressed only in our relative language.
Man can become like God and acquire control over the whole universe if he multiplies infinitely his centre of self-consciousness.
Man as Atman is really free; as man he is bound, changed by every physical condition.
Man always is perfect, or he never could become so; but he had to realise it.
Infinite perfection is in every man, though unmanifested.
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.
Every human being has the right to ask the reason, why, and to have his question answered by himself, if he only takes the trouble.
Each man must begin where he stands, must learn how to control the things that are nearest to him.
Each man is perfect by his nature; prophets have manifested this perfection, but it is potential in us.
Each man is divine. Each man that you see is a God by his very nature.
Each man has a mission in life, which is the result of all his infinite past Karma.
