Remind oneself continually of one of those who practiced virtue in days gone by.

So much worse are the consequences of anger than its causes.

How powerful is man! He is able to do all that God wishes him to do. He is able to accept all that God sends upon him.

Keep reminding yourself of the way things are connected, of great relatedness. All things are implicated in one another and in sympathy with each other. This event is the consequence of some other one. Things push and pull on each other, and breathe together, and are ONE.

Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man; but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also.

If anyone can refute me-show me I'm making a mistake or looking at things from the wrong perspective-I'l l gladly change. It's the truth I'm after, and the truth never harmed anyone. What harms us is to persist in self-deceit and ignorance.

Receive wealth or prosperity without arrogance; and be ready to let it go.
