Expectancy speeds progress. Therefore, live in a continual state of expectancy. No matter how much good you are experiencing today, expect greater good tomorrow. Expect to meet new friends. Expect to meet new and wonderful experiences. Try this magic of expectancy and you will soon discover a dramatic side to your work which gives full vent to constructive feeling.
You have discovered the spiritual universe. Many others have discovered this same world, but each must make the discovery for himself. You are going to have a lot of joy sailing around this world of yours. Don't fight the opinions of others, or waste your time arguing over these things. Follow the inward gleam of your consciousness and you will arrive.
No person whose entire time is spent in the contemplation of limitation can demonstrate freedom from such limitation.
Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.
Since the only life you can have is the life of the Spirit within you, you need but permit Its radiance to flow through your thought into self-expression. You are surrounded by a dynamic force, a great surge of living power. You are immersed in and saturated with the vital essence of Life.

If you are filled with fear, refill yourself with faith, for faith always overcomes fear.
The whole world, from the least to the greatest, must know the truth, so that man may understand the great laws that govern his life. He must learn to control his own destiny, to heal his own body and bring happiness to his own soul.
Nothing is too good to be true.
Too often, our minds are so burdened because of the mistakes we have made that we do not take the time to forgive ourselves and others and start over again.
Everything necessary to the full and complete expression of the most boundless experience of joy is mine now.
Gratitude is one of the chief graces of human existence and is crowned in heaven with a consciousness of unity.
Fear brings failure; faith brings success. It's just that simple.
The great spiritual geniuses, whether it was Moses, Buddha, Plato, Socrates, Jesus, or Emerson..... have taught man to look within himself to find God.
The thought of judgment, criticism and condemnation must, in time, operate against the one who sets it into motion.
