The art of humility begins with a recognition of our dependence on others and an appreciation of God's gift of life.

Success is not arriving at the summit of a mountain as a final destination. It is a continuing upward spiral of progress. It is perpetual growth.

Tolerance is understanding. It is open to new light. Those who are tolerant are always eager to explore viewpoints other than their own.

The reason progress is slow is that we always expect other men to be the heroes and to live the heroic lives. But we all have hero stuff in us. In our sphere of life we can always live more heroically and triumphantly and grow in heroic stature.

Words of encouragement fan the spark of genius into the flame of achievement. Legend tells us that Lincoln's dying mother called her small son to her bedside and whispered, 'Be somebody, Abe'.

Prayer does not change God, it changes us. It deepens insight, increases intuitive perception, expands consciousness. It transforms personality.

By the grace of God you are what you are; glory in your selfhood, accept yourself and go on from there.
