“If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.”

“In the great debate that has raged for centuries about what, if anything, happens to you after death, be it heaven, hell, purgatory or extinction, one thing has never been in doubt - that you would at least know the answer when you were dead.”

“115. If you tried to doubt everything you would not get as far as doubting anything. The game of doubting itself presupposes certainty.”

“The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.”

“There's always one more way to do things and that's your way, and you have a right to try it at least once.”

“Think about yourself at least once in your life otherwise you may miss the best comedy in this world.”

“Whatever you may suffer, speak the truth. Be worthy of the entire confidence of your associates. Consider what is right as to what must be done. It is not necessary that you should keep your property, or even your life, but it is necessary that you should hold fast your integrity.”

“When I looked at you, my life made sense. Even the bad things made sense. They were necessary to make you possible.”

“The secret of happiness is this: let your interests be as wide as possible, and let your reactions to the things and persons that interest you be as far as possible friendly rather than hostile.”

“You should work, no doubt. Work saves the mind from going astray. But prayer and meditation also are necessary. You must sit for meditation at least once in the morning and once in the evening. That will be like the helm of a boat. When one sits in meditation in the evening, there is self-examination in respect of the work done in the course of the day.”
