Key Quotes from This Volume

“Take risks in your life. If you win, you can lead; if you lose, you can guide.”

“Neither seek nor avoid; take what comes. It is liberty to be affected by nothing. Do not merely endure; be unattached.”

“All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.”
