Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person.

If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.

Mastery is great, but even that is not enough. You have to be able to change course without a bead of sweat, or remorse.

Ah, mastery... what a profoundly satisfying feeling when one finally gets on top of a new set of skills... and then sees the light under the new door those skills can open, even as another door is closing.

The ego is not master in its own house.

The more aware of your intentions and your experiences you become, the more you will be able to connect the two, and the more you will be able to create the experiences of your life consciously. This is the development of mastery. It is the creation of authentic power.

Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.

The mastery of nature is vainly believed to be an adequate substitute for self mastery.

Of my own spirit let me be in sole though feeble mastery.

If you get conquered by ego, then you are losing the fight.
