“However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?”

“There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.”

“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.”

“No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.”
