The master mind is the mind that thinks what it wants to think, regardless of what circumstances, environment or associations may suggest.

Nature intends all men and women to be mental and spiritual giants, and does not intend that any one should follow the will of another.

Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

Happiness, however, is not the result of any one single cause. It is the result of many ideal states of being grouped together into one harmonious whole.

Never try to compel others to change; leave them free to change naturally and orderly because they want to; and they will want to when they find that your change was worthwhile. To inspire in others a desire to chance for the better is truly noble; but this you can do only by leaving them alone, and becoming more noble yourself.

When anyone is going wrong, it is a mistake to warn him not to go further. It is also a mistake to leave him alone. The proper course is to call his attention to something better, and frame our conversation in such a way that he becomes wholly absorbed in the better. He will then forget his old mistakes, his old faults and his old desires, and will give all his life and power to the building of that better which has engaged his new interest.

Be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
