The grateful mind continually expects good things, and expectation becomes faith.

You cannot exercise much power without gratitude; for it is gratitude that keeps you connected with Power.

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.

In daily life we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy. It is necessary, then, to cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.

There are three motives for which we live; we live for the body, we live for the mind, we live for the soul. No one of these is better or holier than the other; all are alike desirable, and no one of the three—body, mind, or soul—can live fully if either of the others is cut short of full life and expression.

Your place in life is not fixed by heredity.

The purpose of nature is the advancement and development of life.
