Learn that there is no cure for desire No cure for the love of reward No cure for the misery of longing save in the fixing of the sight and hearing on that which is invisible and soundless A man must believe in his innate power of progress A man must refuse to be terrified by his greater nature and must not be drawn back by his lesser or material self All the past shows that difficulty is no excuse for dejection much less for despair else the world would have been without the many wonders of civilisation.

- H P Blavatsky
