Self-control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power.

Good thoughts and actions can never produce bad results; bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results … We understand this law in the natural world, and work with it; but few understand it in the mental and moral world—although its operation there is just as simple and undeviating— and they, therefore, do not cooperate with it.

Self-control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power.

Suffering is always the effect of wrong thought in some direction. It is an indication that the individual is out of harmony with himself, with the Law of his being.

The circumstances which a man encounters with suffering are the result of his own mental inharmony.

The very fact that you are a complainer, shows that you deserve your lot.

He who would be useful, strong, and happy must cease to be a passive receptacle for the negative, beggarly, and impure streams of thought.
