A man only begins to be a man when he ceases to whine and revile, and commences to search for the hidden justice which regulates his life. And he adapts his mind to that regulating factor, he ceases to accuse others as the cause of his condition, and builds himself up in strong and noble thoughts; ceases to kick against circumstances, but begins to use them as aids to his more rapid progress, and as a means of the hidden powers and possibilities within himself.

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

When mental energy is allowed to follow the line of least resistance and to fall into easy channels, it is called weakness.

There can be no progress, no achievement without sacrifice.

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.

Man is buffeted by circumstances so long as he believes himself to be the creature of outside conditions, but when he realizes that he is a creative power, and that he may command the hidden soil and seeds of his being out of which circumstances grow, he then becomes the rightful master of himself.

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