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.

The human being lives, moves, and has his being in a limitless ocean of health-power, and he uses this power according to his faith.

The desire for riches is simply the capacity for a larger life seeking fulfillment; every desire is the effort of an unexpressed possibility come into action.

The scientific use of thought consists in forming a clear and distinct mental image of what you want; in holding fast to the purpose to get what you want; and in realizing with grateful faith that you do get what you want.

In all your relations to men be great, just, generous, courteous, and kindly. The great are never otherwise.

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.

The brain does not make the man; the man makes the brain.
