KATTIMUTHU

“Man is made or unmade by himself; in the armoury of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself; he also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace. By the right choice and true application of thought, man ascends to the Divine Perfection; by the abuse and wrong application of thought, he descends below the level of the beast. Between these two extremes are all the grades of character, and man is their maker and master.”
― James Allen, As a Man Thinketh

― Yogi Ramacharaka, Fourteen Lessons in Yogi Philosophy and Oriental Occultism

“For to stay, though the hours burn in the night, is to freeze and crystallize and be bound in a mould.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
