311. Even calling to people is useless. Therefore seek not for followers. But attentively welcome those who knock. It is shameful to miss in sleep the knocking of even one heart. Better to meet with failure than to ignore the winged desire.
425. The testing of people is unending. Tests must be repeated until a design is fixed in the brain.
(Roerich: Fiat Rex)

……………………........................................................................................
I, vii, 4. The success of lightminded people is like the trickle of a small fountain, but a wise householder will labor to bring the water from the ocean and will then enjoy the eternal coolness of his fountain.
I, xi, 3. With a smile arrest the destruction of the temple. Only by courage can you master a flight. All will happen in due time. Understand that one must repeat "Courage and patience."
II, i, 9. Possession devoid of the sense of ownership will open the path to all without conventional inheritance. Who can improve shall possess. This concerns lands, forests and waters. All mechanical achievements and various types of inventions are subject to the same principle….To the hearth of spirit shall be directed questions as to how best, and the sword of the Spirit shall strike any evil guild. Verily it is profitable to do better.
II, i, 11. Monetary alms should be abolished, as help can be provided through labor or objects.
II, ii, 7. But when each one understands that the Spirit's way is simple and brings the call to the Mother of the World then the gates open.
II, iii, 8. Not a spectator of the worlds is man but a conscious co-worker; and his way lies not through puddles but through the radiance of the spheres.
II, iv, 6. But fearlessness in the face of endless labor is especially important.
II, iv, 19. The giving hand lives wisely.
II, iv, 20. It is time to do away with the imperfection of matter. For this the people must become conscious of the Spirit, otherwise the general condition tends to reduce the individual possibilities to its own level, as the waves of the ocean preserve a common rhythm.
II, v, 8. Chiefly do not jump along the way. The main thing is that we should rejoice at the steadiness of your pace. It is more fitting for the ray to illumine the walking ones than to leap after the jumping ones….At dawn, at eventide, in advance and retreat, flying or diving, think about us, the Watching Ones.
II, v, 12. Some people are easily reconciled to the sham and luxury of the astral plane, but you will not be attracted by it. Only the abodes of knowledge will outline the path.
II, vi, 1. One may have at one's disposal powers not for demonstration but for progressive actions. When the essence is invisible to the crowd and arouses no attention, being veiled by the result, such essence will penetrate into the consciousness of the people, accustoming them to the fact of achievement through human hands.…It behooves the spirit to dwell in Spirit. Let the hand manifest the earthly direction; creation by human hands does not arouse hatred.
II, vi, 4. The standardized life must be skillfully avoided. The best people are in advance of the world which is burdened by clouds.
II, vi, 15. Only the spiritual gift can move the cup of the scales.
II, vi, 21. Two companions of our works are joy and vigilance. If people could see the results of their discontent and could understand that slumbering is death, they would avoid the two chief co-workers of darkness. The evil sting of discontent penetrates even into the best places.
II, ix, 1. The manifestation of labor for the future will transform the present. If people would understand that only the future exists, cooperation would approach.
II, ix, 5. Since ancient times people have been advised at the hour of turmoil to repeat a short invocation and by rhythmic repetitions to repulse the wave of influence. Later these measures deteriorated into the senseless repetition of religious words; nevertheless the principle remains sound.
II, x, 10. But one should know that among rejected people there are real pearls.
II, i, 5. The epoch of individual trading has passed. Petty plunderers shall cease to exist. It is better to think about the welfare of the people.
II, ii, 17. Know how difficult it is to reach the hearts of people. The spirit does not pierce through, and the carnal envelope is becoming dense.
IIi, iii, 2. Let us imagine the Earth crammed with wireless stations. But a few of them will be of very high tension. Only these few will direct the life of the planet. Exactly so do there exist spirits of high intensity who have fully charged their accumulators in past incarnations. Their characteristic feature will be a firm consciousness of the indissolubility of their inner ego, whence is born the concept of the higher freedom. And to the station of high tension is adjoined a network of smaller stations which receive its continuous waves. Thus does a spirit of high tension nourish its surroundings; it is analogous to a solitary tower reigning over the space.
III, v, 2. Only those who have consciously renounced all the personal and who have transported their consciousness into the conception of world evolution can be called saints in our understanding.
III, v, 11. People betray, slander and revile the bearers of the Commonweal, but not enviable is the fate of these carriers of singeing fires.
II, v, 13. Whoever wishes to follow us must first of all forget negation and freely bear the renewed life without constraint of others. People are attracted by beauty and by luminous knowledge. Only that Teaching which contains all hope, which makes life beautiful, which manifests action can promote true evolution. Certainly life is not a market where one can make a fine bargain for entrance into the heavenly kingdom. Certainly life is not a grave where one trembles before the justice of an Unknown Judge!
III, v, 19. You will inevitably encounter a certain kind of people who fly into a rage at mention of the Teachers. They are ready to trust in any despicable stock market speculation, they are ready to believe in any swindle, but the idea of the General Welfare is inadmissible to them.
III, vi, 1. People have distorted the meaning of the word “harmony." Into this concept there has been inserted something clerical…replace this withered concept with a more energetic one: let us say "sensitiveness of cooperation." Without it the Community cannot exist. Violation of it provokes resentment; resentment begets dullness and stupidity.
III, vi, 12. Again people will approach with the question as to how to deal with obstacles. Some are handicapped by family, some by distasteful occupation, some by poverty, some by attacks of enemies. But a good horseman likes to practice upon untrained horses, and prefers the obstacle of rough ground and ditches to a level roadway. Every impediment must be made the birth of a possibility. Disconcertion before an obstacle always emanates from fear….Friends, until impediments appear to us as the birth of possibilities we will not understand the Teaching.
III, vi, 20. Since the sweetness of a fruit does not depend upon its skin, let your activity proceed beyond the crowd. Only by avoiding crowds will you reach the people.
III, vi, .21. But learn to think and to distinguish the moment of real difficulty.

4. Unity is pointed out in all beliefs as the sole bulwark of success. Better attainments can be affirmed if the unity of co-workers is assured. One may cite a great number of examples when mutual trust among the co-workers helped in lofty solutions. Let people, from home and hearth up to the spacial preordinations, remember about the value of cooperation. The seed of labor withers without the moisture of reciprocity. Let us not look backward too much.
5. The path of life is one of mutual help. Participants in the great task cannot be humanity-haters.
12. So long as people do not learn to defend the merit of their fellow-workers they will not achieve the happiness of Common Good.
46. But rosy-cheeked virtue loves its chest of savings and will always defend it with eloquence. Such people recite the sacred words of the Scriptures and will find subtle arguments why they are indeed ready to surrender it not to this but to that man who does not yet exist.
47. Loss of the true significance of concepts has contributed much to contemporary savagery. People strew pearls about like sand.
53. The first condition of progress is liberation from usual occupation. The usual brain centers must droop in order that a new combination of nerve currents may be revealed.
64. I know people who have let the call escape them on account of their porridge. But my arrow is let fly in the hour of need….Exert yourselves to understand where is the great! I say--time is short!
87. But one should understand that testing means also improvement.
91. It is not our custom to grieve too much. It is not our custom to censure too much. It is not our custom to count on people too broadly. It is not our custom to expect too much. It is needed to be able to replace a complicated plan with a simpler one--never the reverse….Ponder how to strengthen your friends.
97. On the path do not rest under a rotting tree. In life have no dealings with people with extinguished consciousness. An undeveloped consciousness is not as infectious as an extinguished one. The extinguished consciousness is an actual vampire.
102. It is necessary to guide the education of a people from the initial instruction of children, from as early an age as possible, the earlier the better. You may be sure that overfatigue of the brain occurs only from awkwardness. The mother approaching the cradle of her child utters the first formula of instruction "You can do everything." …do not humiliate the children. Firmly remember that true science is always appealing, brief, precise and beautiful. It is necessary that families possess at least an embryo of understanding of education. After the age of seven years much has been already lost. Usually after the age of three years the organism is full of receptivity. …Infinity must be sensed by the young eye.
106. Dirt comes not from poverty but from ignorance. Cleanliness in life is the gateway to purity of heart….Each object can be considered from the standpoint of love. Each thing must be made a participant in the happy life. Cooperation will help to find a way for each household. Where one person alone does not find the solution there the community will be of assistance. Not prizefighters but creators will be the pride of the country.
112. It is a most useful thing to be able to combine the tenderness of love with the austereness of duty. The new life will not be deterred by contrasts. It will not exert compulsion with one yoke but will bestow breadth of receptivity. It is not fitting for people to sit in a chicken-coop.
