Those who have attained things worth having in this world have worked while others idled, have persevered while others gave up in despair, have practiced ...the valuable habits of self-denial, industry, and singleness of purpose.

Be an earnest student of yourself. Study your leading desires and tendencies.

You grow your best thoughts in silence, solitude, and meditation. When you relax and think deeply, you are giving your inmost powers their best opportunity to disclose themselves.

Make the most of today. Translate your good intentions into actual deeds.

Every good thought you think is contributing its share to the ultimate result of your life.

To every problem there is already a solution whether you know it or not.

People around you are quick to read your attitude of thought toward them. Inner thoughts and feelings are communicated in ways other than by the spoken word.
