Suffering Is Always The Effect Of Wrong

Men Are Anxious To Improve Their Circumstances, But Are Unwilling To Improve Themselves; They Therefore Remain Bound. The Man Who Does Not Shrink From Self-crucifixion Can Never Fail To Accomplish The Object Upon Which His Heart Is Set. This Is True Of Earthly As Of Heavenly Things. Even The Man Whose Object Is To Acquire Wealth Must Be Prepared To Make Great Personal Sacrifices Before He Can Accomplish His Object; And How Much More So He Who Would Realize A Strong And Well-poised Life.

A Man Becomes Calm In The Measure That He Understands Himself As A Thought-evolved Being. For Such Knowledge Necessitates The Understanding Of Others As The Result Of Thought, And As He Develops A Right Understanding, And Sees Ever More Clearly The Internal Relations Of Things By The Action Of Cause And Effect, He Ceases To Fuss, Fume, Worry, And Grieve. He Remains Poised, Steadfast, Serene.

Your Circumstances May Be Uncongenial, But They Shall Not Long Remain So If You But Perceive An Ideal And Strive To Reach It.

Man Is Made Or Unmade By Himself. In The Armory Of Thought He Forges The Weapons By Which He Destroys Himself. He Also Fashions The Tools With Which He Builds For Himself Heavenly Mansions Of Joy And Strength And Peace.

The Man Who Cannot Endure To Have His Errors And Shortcomings Brought To The Surface And Made Known, But Tries To Hide Them, Is Unfit To Walk The Highway Of Truth.
