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.

To love and to be loved, one must do good to others. The inevitable condition whereby to become blessed, is to bless others.

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.

Truth has no beginning.

God is universal; confined to no spot, defined by no dogma, appropriated by no sect.

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.

Love enriches the nature, enlarging, purifying, and elevating it.

In the midst of depressing care and labor I turn constantly to divine Love for guidance, and find rest.

The human sigh for peace and love is answered and compensated by divine love.
christian men evil
This is the doctrine of Christian Science: that divine Love cannot be deprived of its manifestation, or object; that joy cannot be turned into sorrow, for sorrow is not the master of joy; that good can never produce evil; that matter can never produce mind nor life result in death. The perfect man - governed by God, his perfect Principle - is sinless and eternal.

Jealousy is the grave of affection.
divine divine-love
No power can withstand divine Love.

Right motives give pinions to thought, and strength and freedom to speech and action.
