The outer conditions of a person's life will always be found to be harmoniously related to his inner state...Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.

Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bear bad fruit.

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.

Man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild.

The man who thinks hateful thoughts brings hatred upon himself. The man who thinks loving thoughts is loved.

The will to do springs from the knowledge that we can do.

They who have no central purpose in their life fall an easy prey to petty worries, fears, troubles, and self-pitying, all of which are indications of weakness, which lead, just as surely as deliberately planned sins (though by a different route), to failure, unhappiness, and loss, for weakness cannot persist in a power evolving universe.
