Man must cast out of himself everything which separates him from God. He must will to live the divine life, and he must rise above all moral temptations; he must forsake every course of action that is not in accord with his highest ideals.

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

The very best thing you can do for the whole world is to make the most of yourself.

Gratitude draws the mind into closer touch with the source from which the blessings come.

Our gratitude liberates an energy within us that immediately expands into the formless substance, where it is instantly returned to us in kind.

There is no labor from which most people shrink as they do from that of sustained and consecutive thought; it is the hardest work in the world

Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich.
