They who have conquered doubt and fear have conquered failure.

Nature gives all, without reservation, and loses nothing; man or woman, grasping all, loses everything.

Above all be of single aim; have a legitimate and useful purpose, and devote yourself unreservedly to it.

Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the result of long and patient effort in self-control. Its presence is an indication of ripened experience, and of a more than ordinary knowledge of the laws and operations of thought.

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

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.

Let there be nothing within thee that is not very beautiful and very gentle, and there will be nothing without thee that is not beautiful and softened by the spell of thy presence.
