Imagination helps you to recognize the reality of facts, but then to go beyond them, to penetrate beneath them, to rise above them in your search for creative answers to problems. Imagination "stirs up the gift of God in thee." Through your imagination you touch and express the inspiration of the Infinite. Imagination, in the words of Shakespeare, "gives to airy nothing a local habitation and a name." You reach into the heavens to grasp an idea, then you bring it down to earth and make it work.

You are a bundle of mysteries. Finding and conquering yourself is a lifetime task. There are unplumbed depths in you full of the rich ore of personal discovery. Explore your self! There is power in you — the power to change yourself and to change the world.

The art of achievement is the art of making life - your life - a masterpiece.

The best leaders are very often the best listeners. They have an open mind. They are not interested in having their own way but in finding the best way.

As you help men to grow, as you work for peace, understanding and good will, your influence will merge, with the good influences of men of every age, into the eternal golden stream of God's goodness.

Friendship, awareness, happiness, all of the arts of the good life, are brilliant beads strung on the golden cord of love.

Prayer is dedicating our thought, feeling and action to the expression of goodness. It is to become like a window through which the light of God shines.
