Whenever I hear a man or women express hatred for any race, I wonder just what it is in themselves they hate so much. You can always be sure of this: You cannot express hatred for anything or anybody unless you make use of the supply of hatred within yourself. The only hatred you can express is your own personal possession. To hate is to be enslaved by evil.

You can get what you desire and in just the measure of that desire.

You create yourself in the image you hold in your mind.

When we administer affection it is astonishing what magical results we obtain.
