There is a science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches, and once these laws are learned and obeyed by anyone, that person will get rich with mathematical certainty.
Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich.
No man has yet become so great in any faculty but that it is possible for some one else to become greater.
Genius is Omniscience flowing into man
Genius is the union of man and God in the acts of the soul. Great men are always greater than their deeds. They are in connection with a reserve power that is without limit.
The purpose of life for man is growth, just as the purpose of life for trees and plants is growth. Trees and plants grow automatically and along fixed lines; man can grow as he will. Trees and plants can only develop certain possibilities and characteristics; man can develop any power which is or has been shown by any person anywhere. Nothing that is possible in spirit is impossible in flesh and blood. Nothing that man can think is impossible. Nothing that man can imagine is impossible of realization.
Nothing that is possible in spirit is impossible in flesh and blood. Nothing that man can think is impossible. Nothing that man can imagine is impossible of realization.
It is essential to his happiness that he should continually advance.
Every man comes into the world with a predisposition to grow along certain lines, and growth is easier for him along those lines than in any other way
Every one will be something worth while, something rare, something perfect.
There is a genius in every man and woman, waiting to be brought forth.
The Principle of Power gives us just what we ask of it; if we only undertake little things, it only gives us power for little things; but if we try to do great things in a great way it gives us all the power there is.
Nothing was ever in any man that is not in you; no man ever had more spiritual or mental power than you can attain, or did greater things than you can accomplish. You can become what you want to be.
If you will make the necessary effort you can develop any talent.
The brain does not make the man; the man makes the brain.
Wisdom is the essential basis of greatness.
Wisdom is the power to perceive the best ends to aim at and the best means for reaching those ends.
The man who is wise enough to know the right thing to do, who is good enough to wish to do only the right thing, and who is able and strong enough to do the right thing is a truly great man.
Wisdom is obtained by reading the mind of God.
The prophets and seers and great men and women, past and present, were made great by what they perceived from God, not by what they were taught by men.
Resolve that you will now lay aside all else and concentrate upon the attainment of conscious unity with God.
You can never become a great man or woman until you have overcome anxiety, worry, and fear. It is impossible for an anxious person, a worried one, or a fearful one to perceive truth; all things are distorted and thrown out of their proper relations by such mental states, and those who are in them cannot read the thoughts of God.
There is not the least cause for worry about financial affairs; every person who wills to do so may rise above want, have all he needs, and become rich
You must lay aside your greed; have no unworthy motive in your desire to become rich and powerful. It is legitimate and right to desire riches, if you want them for the sake of your soul, but not if you desire them for the lists of the flesh.
Cast out pride and vanity; have no thought of trying to rule over others or of outdoing them.
To exercise some sort of control over others is the secret motive of every selfish person.
Cast out envy; you can have all that you want, and you need not envy any man what he has. Above all things, see to it that you do not hold malice or enmity toward any one; to do so cuts you off from the mind whose treasures you seek to make your own. Lay aside all narrow personal ambition and determine to seek the highest good.
Without faith it is impossible to please God,” and without faith it is impossible for you to become great. The distinguishing characteristic of all really great men and women is an unwavering faith.
Faith—not a faith in one’s self or in one’s own powers but faith in principle; in the Something Great which upholds right, and which may be relied upon to give us the victory in due time. Without this faith it is not possible for any one to rise to real greatness.
You must learn to see the world as being produced by evolution; as a something which is evolving and becoming, not as a finished work.
This must be your point of view: that the world and all it contains is perfect, though not completed.
You must learn to see men and women…as perfect beings advancing to become complete.
There are no evil people; there are perfectly good people who are of the track, but they do not need condemnation or punishment; they only need to get upon the rails again.
You must always learn to see yourself as a great advancing soul
I will trust and not be afraid.
You have that within you which is ever impelling you toward the upward and advancing way; and that impelling something is the divine Principle of Power; you must obey it without question.
Intellect helps us to see the best means and manner of doing the right thing, but intellect never shows us the right thing.
By going back to your own center you can always find the pure idea of right for every relationship.
Abandon everything you have outgrown.
You still indulge in distrustful fears that things will go wrong, or that people will betray you, or mistreat you; get above all of them.
Let your thoughts be ruled by principle, and then live up to your thoughts.
You are a god in the company of gods and must conduct yourself accordingly.
