To exercise some sort of control over others is the secret motive of every selfish person.

Do not pay too much attention to the advice or suggestions of those around you.

The average person's idea of a great man, rather than one who serves, is of one who succeeds in getting himself served.

Thought is the creative power, or the impelling force which causes the creative power to act; thinking in a Certain Way will bring riches to you, but you must not rely upon thought alone, paying no attention to personal action. That is the rock upon which many otherwise scientific metaphysical thinkers meet shipwreck–the failure to connect thought with personal action.

You must learn to see the world as being produced by evolution; as a something which is evolving and becoming, not as a finished work.

Cast out envy; you can have all that you want, and you need not envy any man what he has. Above all things, see to it that you do not hold malice or enmity toward any one; to do so cuts you off from the mind whose treasures you seek to make your own. Lay aside all narrow personal ambition and determine to seek the highest good.
