Presentation transcript:

Creative Quotations from Helena Petrova Blavatsky (1831-1891) born on Aug 12 Russian author, translator; She co-founded the Theosophical Society to promote Theosophy, a pantheistic philosophical-religious New Age system.

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

We must prepare and study every aspect, endeavoring to ignore nothing… truth under every aspect, endeavoring to ignore nothing…

The Path that leadeth on is lighted by one fire -- the light of daring burning in the heart.

The more thou dost advance, the more thy feet pitfalls will meet.

To act wisely when the time for action comes, to wait patiently when it is time for repose, puts man in accord with the… tides.
