More quotes by Walter Russell

Image
I believe that every man can multiply his own ability by almost constant wordless realization of his unity with his Source. I have, myself, made that feeling so much a part of me that I actually feel myself to be an extension of the Source that my works are not my own, but interpretations of this Source.

In motion alone is the answer to all of the mysteries of matter.
Walter Russell
Image
He who seeks possessions for himself will never find them-until he begins to give of the abundance of possessions which he already has.
Walter Russell
Image
Inspiration comes only to those who seek it with humility toward their own achievements and reverence toward the achievements of God.
Walter Russell
Image
Every man should be master of anything he does and should do it in a masterly manner, with love, no matter what it is, whether hard physical work, menial or boring work, or inspirational work.

Image
The taint of arrogance will I not know.
Walter Russell

Action and reaction are equal and opposite, and are expressed simultaneously. Sequentially they are repeated in reverse, the reaction becoming the action and the action the reaction.
Walter Russell
Image
And that is what radio-activity is, a quick return to the state of rest which underlies the spiritual or invisible universe.

Walter Russell

Verily has man freewill to control his actions. That my Father-Mother has given to man as his inheritance. But the control of the ractions to those actions man has never had. This my Father-Mother holds inviolate. These cannot become man's except through modifying his actions until the reactions are their exact equal and opposite in equilibrium.
Walter Russell
Image
You must love anything you must do. Do it not only cheerfully, but also lovingly and the very best way you know how. That love of the work which you must do anyhow will vitalize your body and keep you from fatigue.
Walter Russell
Image
Cooling bodies gravitate and heat as they gravitate-heating bodies radiate, and cool as they radiate.
Walter Russell
Image
The essence of strategy is to align your ends with your means: to match your goals and your resources.
Walter Russell
Image
All of man's wars are based upon TAKING. There could be no war based upon GIVING.
Walter Russell
Image
Defeat I shall not know. It shall not touch me. I will meet it with true thinking. Resisting it will be my strengthening. But if, perchance, the day shall give to me the bitter cup, it shall sweeten in the drinking.
Walter Russell
Image
I never let the thought of failure enter my mind. My knowledge of my unity with the Universal One and the fact that I must do this thing, and the inspired belief I should do it as a demonstration of my belief in man's unlimited power, made me ignore the difficulties that lay in the way.
Walter Russell
Image
A menial task which must be mine, that shall I glorify and make an art of it.
Walter Russell
Image
Most sculptors make the mistake, he said, of thinking of eyes as form and they therefore make them as spherical surfaces. Eyes are not forms, they are transparent, and what one really sees is the light of the soul in them - and that is what I try to give them

The very foundation of the living of life lies in the desire of every man to give service to fulfill the needs of his neighbor.

The personal ego must be suppressed and replaced with the 'universal ego.'
