As the plant springs from, and could not be without, the seed, so every act of man springs from the hidden seeds of thought, and could not have appeared without them.

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

The law of harvest is to reap more than you sow. Sow an act, and you reap a habit. Sow a habit and you reap a character. Sow a character and you reap a destiny.

Thus meditating you will no longer strive to build yourself up in your prejudices, but, forgetting self, you will remember only that you are seeking the Truth.

No temptation can gravitate to a man unless there is that is his heart which is capable of responding to it.

All that you accomplish or fail to accomplish with your life is the direct result of your thoughts.

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