Nothing can go wrong in this world but yourself ; and you can go wrong only by getting into the wrong mental attitude.

Get rid of the idea that God wants you to sacrifice yourself for others, and that you can secure his favor by doing so; God requires nothing of the kind from you. What He wants is that you should make the most of yourself, for yourself, and for others; and you can help others more by making the most of yourself than in any other way.

The exercise of gratitude will never fail to strengthen your faith and renew your purpose.

You can never become a great man or woman until you have overcome anxiety, worry, and fear. It is impossible for an anxious person, a worried one, or a fearful one to perceive truth; all things are distorted and thrown out of their proper relations by such mental states, and those who are in them cannot read the thoughts of God.

The prophets and seers and great men and women, past and present, were made great by what they perceived from God, not by what they were taught by men.

Begin to do small things in a great way...You must put the whole power of your great soul into every act.

But the value of gratitude does not consist solely in getting you more blessings in the future. Without gratitude you cannot long keep from dissatisfied thought regarding things as they are.
