Happiness is mental harmony; unhappiness is mental inharmony.

There can be no progress, no achievement without sacrifice.

You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as you dominant aspiration.

Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound. The man who does not shrink from self-crucifixion can never fail to accomplish the object upon which his heart is set. This is true of earthly as of heavenly things. Even the man whose object is to acquire wealth must be prepared to make great personal sacrifices before he can accomplish his object; and how much more so he who would realize a strong and well-poised life.

There can be no progress nor achievement without sacrifice, and a man's worldly success will be by the measure that he sacrifices his confused animal thoughts, and fixes his mind on the development of his plans, and the strengthening of his resolution and self-reliance.

Jesus brooded upon the Divine imminence until at last he could declare, 'I and my Father are One.'

The body is the servant of the mind. It obeys the operations of the mind, whether they be deliberately chosen or automatically expressed.
