Are you making life or is life making you?
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
The way out is the way through.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
A science is something which is constructed from truth on workable axioms. There are 55 axioms in scientology which are very demonstrably true, and on these can be constructed a great deal.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
Choice is the keynote of self-determinism. To determine anything, you must have the choice to determine. Choice to determine means that you must have the power of decision. Decision and time have a lot in common. When we have clean, clear decision, we have clean, clear time. And when we have indecision, there is an unclarity about time.
L. Ron Hubbard

Living is a pretty grim joke, but a joke just the same.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
If at this moment you simply made up your minds that you were handsome, beautiful, strong, dangerous, powerful, that you knew everything there was to know, you were totally capable in any job that you undertook or any sport you undertook-if you really believed that, and you can believe it, some of your faces would change physically before my eyes.

Adventure, I well know, is in the heart, not in the view.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
Scientology is used to increase spiritual freedom, intelligence, ability and to produce immortality.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
This [Scientology] is useful knowledge. With it the blind again see, the lame walk, the ill recover, the insane become sane and the sane become saner. By its use the thousand abilities Man has sought to recover become his once more.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
One cannot be able in life by fearing to live.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
Freedom is for honest people. No man who is not himself honest can be free – he is his own trap.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
Scientology is the study of knowingness. It increases one's knowingness, but if a man were totally aware of what was going on around him, he would find it relatively simple to handle any outnesses in that.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
If anyone is getting industrious trying to enturbulate [sic] or stop Scientology or its activities, I can make Captain Bligh look like a Sunday-school teacher. There is probably no limit on what I would do to safeguard Man's only road to freedom against persons who ... seek to stop Scientology or hurt Scientologists.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
So we listen. We add up associations of people with people. When a push against Scientology starts somewhere, we go over the people involved and weed them out. Push vanishes.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
You want to raise your child in such a way that you don't have to control him, so that he will be in full possession of himself at all times. Upon that depends his good behavior, his health, his sanity.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
A culture is as rich and as capable of surviving as it has imaginative artists, skilled men of science, a high ethic level, workable government, land and natural resources, in about that order of importance.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
All great cathedrals began their building by the placement of a single stone. The building unit of a great society is the individual.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
The differences between a competent person and an incompetent person are demonstrated in his environment (surroundings).

Darwin found out that when you took horses up to the high country in the Middle East, they would then grow long hair after a season or two. But when you took them - these long-haired horses - back into the low, hot country, they wouldn't get rid of the long hair, just in case, for about four generations.

A workman is not just a workman. A laborer is not just a laborer. An office worker is not just an office worker. They are living, breathing, important pillars on which the entire structure of our civilization is erected. They are not cogs in a mighty machine. They are the machine itself.
L. Ron Hubbard
