Think of what you have rather than of what you lack. Of the things you have, select the best and then reflect how eagerly you would have sought them if you did not have them.

Let your one delight and refreshment be to pass from one service to the community to another, with God ever in mind.

Am I doing anything? I do it with reference to the good of mankind. Does anything happen to me? I receive it and refer it to the gods, and the source of all things, from which all that happens is derived.

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.

The whole universe is change and life itself is but what you deem it - either gratefully better than or bitterly worse than something else that you alone choose.

It's time you realized that you have something in you more powerful and miraculous than the things that affect you and make you dance like a puppet.

Regain your senses, call yourself back, and once again wake up. Now that you realize that only dreams were troubling you, view this 'reality' as you view your dreams.
