Selected Quote

To act and act wisely when the time for action comes, to wait and wait patiently when it is time for repose, put man in accord with the rising and falling tides (of affairs), so that with nature and law at his back, and truth and beneficence as his beacon light, he may accomplish wonders. Ignorance of this law results in periods of unreasoning enthusiasm on the one hand, and depression on the other. Man thus becomes the victim of the tides when he should be their Master.

Other Helena Petrova Blavatsky Quotes

The more thou dost advance, the more thy feet pitfalls will meet. The Path that leadeth on is lighted by one fire the light of daring burning in the heart. The more one dares, the more he shall obtain. The more he fears, the more that light shall pale.

Knowledge increases in proportion to its use; that is, the more we teach the more we learn.
