“This man is the master of us all.”

“A Man who is Master of Patience, is Master of everything else.”

“Man acts as though he were the shaper and master of language, while in fact language remains the master of man.”

“Water does not care whether you bathe in it or drown in it. The mountains do not care whether you climb them or go around them. The stars do not care whether man reaches them or not. The universe does not care whether man masters all the relationships of its forces and processes, or dies because he refuses to master them. Life continues as it uses those relationships to further its growth. It ceases when it becomes overcome by still other forces which it cannot master.”

“Like master, like man.”
Qualis dominus talis est servus.

“Such mistress, such Nan,
Such master, such man.”

“For our Master’s sake, may He make us willing to do or suffer all His will.”

“Man masters nature not by force, but by understanding”

“No man is free who is not master of himself. ”

“It is a grand thing to see a man thoroughly possessed with one master-passion. Such a man is sure to be strong, and if the master-principle be excellent, he is sure to be excellent, too.”
