A noble and God-like character is not a thing of favor or chance, but is the natural result of continued effort in right thinking, the effect of long-cherished association with God-like thoughts.

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.

Circumstance does not make the man; it reveals him to himself.

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

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

He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little; he who would achieve much must sacrifice much; he who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.

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