The average person's idea of a great man, rather than one who serves, is of one who succeeds in getting himself served.

Do every common act as a god should do it; speak every word as a god should speak it.

You must lay aside your greed; have no unworthy motive in your desire to become rich and powerful. It is legitimate and right to desire riches, if you want them for the sake of your soul, but not if you desire them for the lists of the flesh.

You cannot give everyone more in cash market value than you take from him, but you can give him more in use value than the cash value of the thing you take from him.

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.

Faith-not a faith in one's self or in one's own powers but faith in principle; in the Something Great which upholds right, and which may be relied upon to give us the victory in due time. Without this faith it is not possible for any one to rise to real greatness.

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