From My Spiritual Diary-51:

* Renounce as much as you can. - Mahapurush Maharaj
* There are pearls in the deep sea, but you must hazard all perils to get them. If you fail to get at them by a single dive, do not conclude that the sea is without them. Dive again and again, and you are sure to be rewarded in the end. So also in the quest for the Lord, if your first attempt to see Him proves fruitless, do not lose heart. - Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
* Be humble! Be the servant of all! Only he who knows how to serve is fit to rule - Swami Turiyananda
* If faults are to be noticed, look at your own. Being aware of the defects in others only serves to show your own defective nature - Swami Turiyananda
* That one is a master who is never crushed or disheartened - Swami Paramananda
* We must climb higher and radiate higher qualities in our life. To do this requires faith and courage - Swami Paramananda
* He is a fool who cannot get angry and he is a wise man who will not. - Swami Turiyananda
* Try to be one with all. Never antagonize. - Swami Turiyananda
* If you should speak, speak what is benevolent. Speak not what is malevolent. - Thiruvalluvar
