"Who hath not known ill fortune, never knew himself, or his own virtue."

"Perseverance is a virtue that cannot be understated."

"Humility is the courage to be honest with yourself and those around you."

"In judging our progress as individual we tend to concentrate on external factors such as one's social position, influence and popularity, wealth and standard of education. These are, of course, important in measuring one's success in material matters and it is perfectly understandable if many people exert themselves mainly to achieve all these. But internal factors may be even more crucial in assessing one's development as a human being. Honesty, sincerity, simplicity, humility, pure generosity, absence of vanity, readiness to serve others - qualites which are within reach of every soul - are the foundation of one's spiritual life."

"The firm, the enduring, the simple, and the modest are near to virtue."

"Man is most happy, when his own actions are arguments and examples of his virtue."

"Natural objects, for example, must be experienced before any theorizing about them can occur."

"Something similar is still true of the courses followed by manifold intuitions which together make up the unity of one continuous consciousness of one and the same object."

"Within this widest concept of object, and specifically within the concept of individual object, Objects and phenomena stand in contrast with each other."

"It just is nothing foreign to consciousness at all that could present itself to consciousness through the mediation of phenomena different from the liking itself; to like is intrinsically to be conscious."
