“The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good.”

No man is hindered by another; he is only hindered by himself. No man suffers because of another; he suffers only because of himself.

Unrest and pain and sorrow are the shadows of life.

Self-control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power.

Aimlessness is a vice, and such drifting must not continue for him who would steer clear of catastrophe and destruction.

A person is limited only by the thoughts that he chooses.

Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that the right thoughts and right efforts inevitably bring about the right results.

They who have no central purpose in their life fall easy prey to petty worries, fears, troubles, and self-pityings.

The dreamers are the saviors of the world.

Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.

As a man thinketh in his heart, so shall he be.

He who has conquered doubt and fear has conquered failure.

Self-seeking is self-destruction.

If you would protect your body, guard your mind. If you would renew your body, beautify your mind. Thoughts of malice, envy, disappointment, despondency, rob the body of its health and grace.

What you are, so is your world.

For you will always gravitate toward that which you, secretly, most love.

The man who does not shrink from self-crucifixion can never fail to accomplish the object upon which his heart is set.
