"I share these two rules with you because I want everyone in our community to get to self-transcendence. Only when we see ourselves in unity can we truly go forth and create a better world." – Vishen Lakhiani

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us." – Vishen Lakhiani
