Do not talk about your greatness; you are really, in essential nature, no greater than those around you.

To think health when surrounded by the appearances of disease or to think riches when in the midst of the appearances of poverty requires power, but whoever acquires this power becomes a mastermind. That person can conquer fate and can have what he or she wants.

Do not believe that any one can know, better than yourself, what is right for you. Listen to what others have to say, but always form your own conclusions.

Do all the work you can do, every day, and do each piece of work in a perfectly successful manner; put the power of success, and the purpose to get rich, into everything that you do.

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

Abandon everything you have outgrown.

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