Some Wise Words

Some words from the wise Manly P Hall
-----------

"All tradition begins by inspiring, and ends by enslaving."

"As soon as he has decided for himself, he begins to decide for others. And the moment he decides for others, his culture begins to die. The moment he denies to another the right he demands for himself, he begins to lock and enslave."

"You can never accept a new idea if you are satisfied with the one you have. If you want to grow, you have got to give up something. If you want to proceed, the past must die. If you want to be more than you are, something that is less must perish along the way."

"The soul.. is the part of man which will never let him remain as he is today."

"Hence the disciple of the Ancient Wisdom is taught to realize that man is not essentially a personality, but a spirit."—Manly P. Hall
