You are not mentally developed by what you read, but by what you think about what you read.

You already have within you everything you need to turn your dreams into reality.

In daily life we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy. It is necessary, then, to cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.

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.

You can never get rich, or start the creative power into action, by sending out unformed longings and vague desires.

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

If you desire a thing, picture it clearly and hold the picture steadily in mid until it becomes a definite thought-form.
