To think health when surrounded by the appearances of disease or to think riches when in the midst of the appearances of poverty requires power, but whoever acquires this power becomes a mastermind. That person can conquer fate and can have what he or she wants.

You can not retain a true and clear vision of wealth if you are constantly turning your attention to opposing pictures, whether they be external or imaginary.

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.

I will obey my soul and be true to that within me which is highest.

Do not try to convert others to your point of view, except by holding it and living accordingly.

You still indulge in distrustful fears that things will go wrong, or that people will betray you, or mistreat you; get above all of them.

Cast out pride and vanity; have no thought of trying to rule over others or of outdoing them.
