But here we may well ask what we are living for – if we are living to give up to the influence of environment, visible or invisible, or if we are living to attain such full control over the powers and talents that are within us, that we can not only control, modify and perfect environment, but also so perfectly control ourselves that we can become all that nature intends that we should become.

Faith and belief have nothing in common; they are as different as darkness and light.

You can lead mankind into the gold mines of the mind and into the diamond fields of the soul, and the secret lies in the words you speak.

There is a faith that is faith; there is a faith that can do all things; there is a faith that moves mountains, whatever those mountains may be; there is a faith that rises above every obstacle in the world and reaches the greatest heights that the mind of man may have in view; and it is this faith that is the hidden secret.

True achievement in any sphere of action depends upon real ability, and a strong, deep, whole-souled love.

The real feeling of youth comes when we actually think in the consciousness of youth and give the realization of the now to every thought.

The more you think of harmony, of health, of success, of happiness, of things that are desirable, of things that are beautiful, of things that have true worth, the more the mind will tend to build all those things in yourself, provided, of course, that all such thinking is subjective.

Happiness, however, is not the result of any one single cause. It is the result of many ideal states of being grouped together into one harmonious whole.
