 8. Be sure you are right, then go ahead.

 9. By heaven we understand a state of happiness infinite in degree, and endless in duration.

10. Depend upon yourself. Make your judgement trustworthy by trusting it. You can develop good judgement as you do the muscles of your body - by judicious, daily exercise. To be known as a man of sound judgement will be much in your favour.

11. Every soul is subject to the trial of Transmigration... An individual does not know that he is called for assessment before entering this World as well as after leaving it. He does not know how many transformations and esoteric trial she has to pass through...and that souls revolve like a stone shot from a sling.

12. Everyone complains of his memory; no one complains of his judgement.

19. He who says what is not goes to hell; he also who, having done a thing, says I have not done it. After death both are equal: they are men with evil deeds in the next world.

28. How little do they see what really is, who frame their hasty judgment upon that which seems.

29. I mistrust the judgment of every man in a case in which his own wishes are concerned.

30. I shall tell you a great secret, my friend. Do not wait for the last judgment, it take place every day.

31. I would not give one moment of heaven for all the joy and riches of the world, even if it lasted for thousands and thousands of years.

32. In judging of others a man laboureth in vain, often erreth, and easily sinneth; but in judging and examining himself, he always laboureth fruitfully.

33. In our judgment of human transactions, the law of optics is reversed; we see the most indistinctly the objects which are close around us.

34. Into deep darkness fall those who follow action. Into deeper darkness fall those who follow knowledge. There are worlds of no joy, regions of utter darkness. To those worlds go after death those who in their unwisdom have not wakened up to light.

37. It is not alone what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable.

38. It is not beyond the tomb, but in life itself, that we are to seek for the mysteries of death. Salvation or reprobation begins here below, and the terrestrial world too has its Heaven and its Hell. Always, even here below, virtue is rewarded; always, even here below, vice is punished...

39. It is with our judgments as our watches, none go just alike, yet each believes his own.

40. It took me forty years on earth To reach this sure conclusion: There is no Heaven but clarity, No Hell except confusion.

58. The choice must be made between the path of public acclaim and the path of obscurity and introspection. Each person must make their own choice.

63. The more one judges, the less one loves.

64. The nature of all men is so formed that they see and discriminate in the affairs of others, much better than in their own.

65. The safest road to Hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.

66. The trumpet! the trumpet! the dead have all heard; Lo, the depths of the stone-covered charnels are stirred: From the sea, from the land, from the south and the north. The vast generations of man are come forth.

67. The very thing that men think they have got the most of, they have got the least of; and that is judgment.

68. The Way of Heaven does not compete, And yet it skillfully achieves victory. It does not speak, and yet it skillfully responds to things. It comes to you without your invitation. It is not anxious about things and yet is plans well. Heaven's net is indeed vast. Though its meshes are wide, it misses nothing.

69. The way of sinners is made plain with stones, but at the end thereof is the pit of hell.

70. There are demon-haunted worlds, regions of utter darkness. Whoever in life denies the Spirit falls into that darkness of death.

71. There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision.

72. There is nothing more to be esteemed than a manly firmness and decision of character. I like a person who knows his own mind and sticks to it; who sees at once what is to be done in given circumstances and does it.

73. To get to heaven we must take it with us.

74. To reach the port of Heaven we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it. But we must sail, and not drift or lie at anchor.

77. We see but dimly through the mists and vapours; Amid these earthly damps What seem to us but sad, funeral tapers May be heaven's distant lamps.

78. We sometimes see a fool possessed of talent, but never of judgment.

79. What came from the earth returns back to the earth, and the spirit that was sent from heaven, again carried back, is received into the temple of heaven.

80. Whatsoever a man soweth, that, and not something else, shall he reap. That which we are doing, good or evil, grave or gay, that which we do to-day and shall do to-morrow; each thought, each feeling, each action, each event; every passing hour, every breathing moment; all are contributing to form the character, according to which we are to be judged.

81. When confronted with two courses of action I jot down on a piece of paper all the arguments in favour of each one - then on the opposite side I write the arguments against each one. Then by weighing the arguments pro and con and canceling them out, one against the other, I take the course indicated by what remains.

82. When once a decision is reached and execution is the order of the day, dismiss absolutely all responsibility and care about the outcome.

83. When the Heaven is rent asunder, and when the stars are scattered, and when the seas are let loose, and when the tombs are turned upside-down, the soul shall know what it hath done and left undone.

84. Who seeks for Heaven alone to save his soul May keep the path, but will not reach the goal; While he who walks in love may wander far, Yet God will bring him where the blessed are.

85. Whoever has done good in the main has spirit-energy that is pure and clear when death comes. It passes out by the upper openings of mouth and nose. The pure and light energy rises upward and floats up to heaven and becomes shadow-spirit. But if, during life, the primal spirit was used by the conscious spirit for avarice, folly, desire, and lust, and committed all sorts of sins, then in the moment of death the spirit-energy is turbid and confused...it crystallizes downward, sinks down to hell, and becomes a demon...

86. You are now before the King of the Dead. In vain will you try to lie, and to deny or conceal the evil deeds you have done. The Judge holds up before you the shining mirror of action, where in all your deeds are reflected...The mirror in which the King of the Dead seems to read your past is your own memory, and also his judgment is your own. It is you yourself who pronounce your own judgment, which in its turn determines your next rebirth.
