Russian occultist (1831-1891)
Be humble, if thou would'st attain to wisdom. Be humbler still, when wisdom thou hast mastered.

Theosophical Review
As the dogmas of every religion and sect often differ radically, they cannot be true. And if untrue, what are they?

Theology
The Christians were the first to make the existence of Satan a dogma of the Church.... what is the use in a Pope, if there is no Devil?

Isis Unveiled
The light of Christianity has only served to show how much more hypocrisy and vice its teachings have begotten in the world since its advent, and how immensely superior were the ancients over us in every point of honor.

Isis Unveiled
He who would profit by the wisdom of the universal mind, has to reach it through the whole of Humanity without distinction of race, complexion, religion, or social status. It is altruism, not ego-ism even in its most legal and noble conception, that can lead the unit to merge its little Self in the Universal Selves.

Practical Occultism
Yet, the Universe is real enough to the conscious beings in it, which are as unreal as it is itself.

An Abridgement by Katharine Hillard of The Secret Doctrine
Everything that is, was, and will be, eternally IS, even the countless forms, which are finite and perishable only in their objective, not in their ideal Form.

An Abridgement by Katharine Hillard of The Secret Doctrine
Whatever ignorance, pride or fanaticism may suggest to the contrary, Esoteric Cosmology can be shown inseparably connected with both philosophy and modern science. The gods of the ancients, the monads--from Pythagoras down to Leibnitz--and the atoms of the present materialistic school (as borrowed by them from the theories of the old Greek Atomists) are only a compound unit, or a graduated unity like the human frame, which begins with body and ends with spirit.
