There are three things you should always hold onto.
As the different streams having their sources in different places all mingle their water in the sea, so, O Lord, the different paths which men take through different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to Thee!
Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
Learn everything that is good from others, but bring it in, and in your own way absorb it; do not become others.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.
Anything that makes you weak physically, intellectually, and spiritually, reject as poison.
