The Mother's brief written statements on various aspects of spiritual life including some spoken comments.
This volume consists primarily of brief written statements by the Mother on various aspects of spiritual life. Written between the late 1920s and the early 1970s, the statements have been compiled from her public messages, private notes, and correspondence with disciples. About two-thirds of them were written in English; the rest were written in French and appear here in English translation. The volume also contains a small number of spoken comments, most of them in English. Some are tape-recorded messages; others are reports by disciples that were later approved by the Mother for publication.
Courage: bold, it faces all dangers.
Integral courage: whatever the domain, whatever the danger, the attitude remains the same—calm and assured.
Courage is a sign of the soul's nobility.
But courage must be calm and master of itself, generous and benevolent.

Have the courage to be completely frank with the Divine.
Whosoever has courage can give courage to others, just as the flame of the candle can light up another.
It is quite necessary that those who have courage should have some courage for those who have none.
The moral courage and endurance are often much more difficult to get than the material courage and endurance.
