There has always been a Brotherhood of Adepts, the Great White Brotherhood; there have always been those who knew, those who possessed this inner wisdom, and our Masters are among the present representatives of that mighty line of Seers and Sages. Part of the knowledge which they have garnered during countless aeons is available to every one on the physical plane under the name of Theosophy. But there is far more behind.

— Charles Webster Leadbeater The Masters and the Path (1925)

This is a school in which no pupil ever fails; every one must go on to the end.

A Textbook of Theosophy (1912)

For those who wish to know more and to draw nearer, the Path is open.

The Masters and the Path (1925)

It is one of the commonest of mistakes to consider that the limit of our power of perception is also the limit of all there is to perceive.

The Chakras (1927)

If a man lives under the delusion that he can do anything that he likes, and that the effect of his actions will never recoil upon himself, he will most certainly find that some of these actions eventually involve him in unhappiness and suffering.

The cases in which assistance is given to mankind by nature-spirits are few. The majority of such creatures shun the haunts of man, and retire before him, disliking his emanations and the perpetual bustle and unrest which he creates all around him.
