Cosmo, Just got through reading "the power of the supermind" & re-reading again, should give you some idea what I thought of it. Did not find my favorite quote, but would like to share these 2 excerpts:
1)
"[If you ask "How can I change?" you find the answer in every true teaching. The wording is different, but the meaning is the same if you will seriously ponder the following human thought structures of religion and philosophy.
Hinduism: Discover your true self
Taoism: Flow along with events
George Gurdjieff: Wake up
Christian New Testament: Be born again
Zen: Let the mind be silent
William James: Be genuinely practical
Krishnamurti: Be alertly aware of yourself
Buddhism: Abandon egotism
Soren Kierkegaard: Be a true individualist
Mysticism: See things as they really are]"
2)
I think this applies very well here & is in answer to a Professors admitted obsession about accumulating wealth
& lack of spiritual development as a result
"You must resist nothing. If you merely repress your desire for riches, you will never understand. Go ahead & earn all the money you want, but continue with your inner work. The time will come when money ceases to cause conflict."

"I know nothing"

"They who can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety,deserve neither liberty or safety"
-Benjamin Franklin
"The people are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty" -T.Jefferson
