should masters cultivating
We should master fear, instead of cultivating it.

blessing today infinite
To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, today is big with blessings.

If Christianity is not scientific, and Science is not God, then there is no invariable law, and truth becomes an accident.
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.

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.

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.

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