life writing heart
To live and let live, without clamor for distinction or recognition; to wait on divine love; to write truth first on the tablet of one's own heart - this is the sanity and perfection of living, and my human ideal.
order purpose may
Spirit, God, gathers unformed thoughts into their proper channels, and unfolds these thoughts, even as He opens the petals of a holy purpose in order that the purpose may appear.
hard-work successful people
All successful individuals have become such by hard work; by improving moments before they pass into hours, and hours that other people may occupy in the pursuit of pleasure.
blessed loved-ones inevitable
To love and to be loved, one must do good to others. The inevitable condition whereby to become blessed, is to bless others.
letting-go prayer humility
I love to observe Christmas in quietude, humility, benevolence, charity, letting good will towards man, eloquent silence, prayer, and praise express my conception of Truth’s appearing.
prayer asking affection
True prayer is not asking God for love; it is learning to love, and to include all mankind in one affection.
truth
Truth has no beginning.
prayer grace growth
What we most need is the prayer of fervent desire for growth in grace, expressed in patience, meekness, love, and good deeds.
dogma spots confined
God is universal; confined to no spot, defined by no dogma, appropriated by no sect.
defeat motive
A wrong motive involves defeat.
life pain self
Error is a supposition that pleasure and pain, that intelligence, substance, life, are existent in matter. Error is neither Mind nor one of Mind's faculties. Error is the contradiction of Truth. Error is a belief without understanding. Error is unreal because untrue. It is that which stemma to be and is not. If error were true, its truth would be error, and we should have a self-evident absurdity -namely, erroneous truth. Thus we should continue to lose the standard of Truth.
stupid drug mind
Drugs, cataplasms, and whiskey are stupid substitutes for the dignity and potency of divine mind and its efficacy to heal.
purifying elevating
Love enriches the nature, enlarging, purifying, and elevating it.
depressing care guidance
In the midst of depressing care and labor I turn constantly to divine Love for guidance, and find rest.
