A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts.

They who have no central purpose in their life fall an easy prey to petty worries, fears, troubles, and self-pityings, all of which are indications of weakness.

Until thought is linked with purpose there is no intelligent accomplishment.

To dwell day by day in thoughts of peace toward every creature will bring abounding peace to their possessor.

To think well of all, to be cheerful with all, to patiently learn to find the good in all„such unselfish thoughts are the very portals of heaven.

To live continually in thoughts of ill will, cynicism, suspicion, and envy, is to be confined in a self made prison-hole.

There is no physician like cheerful thought for dissipating the ills of the body; there is no comforter to compare with goodwill for dispersing the shadows of grief and sorrow.
