EVERY UNDERTAKING MUST PASS THROUGH A LOT OF OBSTRACLES. TRUTH TRIUMPHS IF ONLY ONE PURSUES A PEACEFUL COURSE


. . . Combine seriousness with childlike naïveté. Live in harmony with all. Give up all idea of egoism, and entertain no sectarian views. Useless wrangling is a great sin.

.....Now many respectable ladies and gentlemen of this country hold me in reverence. The missionaries and others of that ilk have tried their utmost to put me down, but finding it useless have now become quiet. Every undertaking must pass through a lot of obstacles. Truth triumphs if only one pursues a peaceful course.
