8-1 Understanding makes the trouble of life lighter to bear.

8-2 The same herb planted in various atmospheric conditions will vary in form accordingly, but will retain its characteristics.

8-4 Life is what it is; you cannot change it, but you can always change yourself.

8-5 Life is a continual series of experiences, one leading to the other, until the soul arrives at its destination.

8-6 External life is the shadow of the inner reality.

8-7 At the cost of one failure, the wise learn the lesson for the whole of life.

8-8 The more you evolve spiritually, the further you pass from the understanding of every man.

8-9 One word can be more precious than all the treasures of the earth.

8-10 Narrowness is primitiveness; it is the breadth of heart that proves evolution.

8-12 It is God, who by the hand of man, designs and carries out His intended plans in nature.

8-13 The lover of nature is the true worshipper of God.

8-14 In the country you see the glory of God; in the city you glorify His name.

8-15 The pain of life is the price paid for the quickening of the heart.

8-16 Words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels.

8-17 Love is the current coin of all peoples in all periods.

8-18 Do not take the example of another as an excuse for your own wrongdoing.

8-19 Overlook the greatest fault of another, but do not partake of it yourself in the smallest degree.

8-20 Cleverness and complexity are not necessarily wisdom.

8-21 The whole world's treasure is too small a price to pay for a word that kindles the soul.

8-22 He is living whose sympathy is awake; and he is dead whose heart is asleep.

8-23 By our thoughts we have prepared for ourselves the happiness or unhappiness we experience.

8-24 Put your trust in God for support and see His hidden hand working through all sources.

8-25 Faith is the A B C of the realization of God; this faith begins by prayer.

8-26 Passion is the smoke and emotion is the glow of love's fire; unselfishness is the flame that illumines the path.

8-27 The soul of Christ is the light of the universe.

8-28 Death is a tax the soul has to pay for having had a name and a form.

8-29 A pure life and a clean conscience are as two wings attached to the soul.

8-30 The giver is greater than the gift.

8-31 He who has spent has used; he who has collected has lost; but he who has given has saved his treasure forever.
