You are not here to fritter away your precious hours when you have the ability to accomplish so much by making a slight change in your routine.

I seek constantly to improve my manners and graces, for they are the sugar to which all are attracted.

Today I will be the master of my emotions.

If I persist long enough I will win.

Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.

I will waste not even a precious second today in anger or hate or jealousy or selfishness. I know that the seeds I sow I will harvest, because every action, good or bad, is always followed by an equal reaction. I will plant only good seeds this day.

The person who knows one thing and does it better than anyone else, even if it only be the art of raising lentils, receives the crown he merits. If he raises all his energy to that end, he is a benefactor of mankind and its rewarded as such.
