Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.
A man can only rise, conquer, and achieve by lifting up his thoughts.
Happiness is mental harmony; unhappiness is mental inharmony.
Man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild.
Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the result of long and patient effort in self-control. Its presence is an indication of ripened experience, and of a more than ordinary knowledge of the laws and operations of thought.
As in the rankest soil the most beautiful flowers are grown, so in the dark soil of poverty the choicest flowers of humanity have developed and bloomed.
