He who has no faith in himself can never have faith in God.
If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.
You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
