I have discovered that all human evil comes from this: man's being unable to sit still and quiet in a room alone. If you confront the limitations of life courageously, that provides you with a certain psychological purpose that serves as an antidote to the suffering. When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but creatures of emotion. We must interpret a bad temper as a sign of inferiority. Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate. The mind wears the colors of the soul, as a valet those of his master. Your thoughts do not create reality, but they do create your experience. Every man is pent up within the limits of his own consciousness, and cannot directly get beyond those limits any more than he can get beyond his own skin; so external aid is not of much use to him. For the highest, most varied and lasting pleasures are those of the mind, however much our youth may deceive us on this point; and the pleasures of the mind turn chiefly on the powers of the mind.
