You want to get rich in order that you may surround yourself with beautiful things, see distant lands, feed your mind, and develop your intellect; in order that you may love others and do kind things, and be able to play a good part in helping the world to find truth.

This must be your point of view: that the world and all it contains is perfect, though not completed.

In order to get what you want, you must act.

To become convinced that you can succeed is the first requisite to success.

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

Many people who order their lives rightly in all other ways are kept in poverty by their lack of gratitude.

Your first duty to God, to yourself, and to the world is to make yourself as great a personality, in every way, as you possibly can.
