Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, need only a bit of praise or encouragement - and we will make the goal.

Start where you are. Distant fields always look greener, but opportunity lies right where you are. Take advantage of every opportunity of service.

All motion is cyclic. It circulates to the limits of its possibilities and then returns to its starting point.

One might as well try to ride two horses moving in different directions, as to try to maintain in equal force two opposing or contradictory sets of desires.

All riches have their origin in mind. Wealth is in ideas - not money.

As fast as each opportunity presents itself, use it! No matter how tiny an opportunity it may be, use it!

See things as you would have them be instead of as they are.

It sometimes seems that we have only to love a thing greatly to get it.

Vision - It reaches beyond the thing that is, into the conception of what can be. Imagination gives you the picture. Vision gives you the impulse to make the picture your own.

Our subconscious minds have no sense of humor, play no jokes and cannot tell the difference between reality and an imagined thought or image. What we continually think about eventually will manifest in our lives.

Plant the seed of desire in your mind and it forms a nucleus with power to attract to itself everything needed for its fulfillment.

One comes to believe whatever one repeats to oneself sufficiently often, whether the statement be true of false. It comes to be dominating thought in one's mind.
