Man is made or unmade by himself. By the right choice he ascends. As a being of power, intelligence, and love, and the lord of his own thoughts, he holds the key to every situation.

As the physically weak man can make himself strong by careful and patient training, so the man of weak thoughts can make them strong by exercising himself in right thinking.

Happiness is mental harmony; unhappiness is mental inharmony.

To desire is to obtain; to aspire is to achieve.

A strong man cannot help a weaker unless the weaker is willing to be helped, and even then the weak man must become strong of himself; he must, by his own efforts, develop the strength which he admires in another. None but himself can alter his condition.

The more intense the nature of a man, the more readily will he find meditation, and the more successfully will he practice it.

Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and right efforts inevitably bring about right results.
