"The human soul has still greater need of the ideal than of the real. It is by the real that we exist; it is by the ideal that we live."
Soul,
"My soul is a pale, tenuous membrane..."That was pleasing: a thin, tenuous membrane. It had the right anatomical quality. Tight blown, quivering in the blast of noisy life. It was time for him to descend from the serene empyrean of words into the actual vortex. He went down slowly. "My soul is a thin, tenuous membrane..."
"She had something more than material value ~ she had a soul, no money could buy."
"Enthusiasm is the energy and force that builds literal momentum of the human soul and mind."
"Why is there so much problem just to know one's own Soul? The Soul resides in one's own abode (body), but one doesn't know it and then he says, 'I know this and I know that so'. Instead why don't you get to know your own 'Self'?"

Thus do we fear more what our neighbours will think of us, than what we ourselves."
"Be like a rocky promontory against which the restless surf continually pounds; it stands fast while the churning sea is lulled to sleep at its feet. I hear you say, "How unlucky that this should happen to me!" Not at all! Say instead, "How lucky that I am not broken by what has happened and am not afraid of what is about to happen. The same blow might have struck anyone, but not many would have absorbed it without capitulation or complaint."
