"Your body is merely a machine made to express the thoughts that flow through you and nothing more.

He must first divide himself and give himself to the service of all, thus placing himself within all others through acts of thoughtfulness and service."

Each man is thus empowered to uplift all men as each drop of water uplifts the entire ocean."
"Every successful man or great genius has three particular qualities in common. The most conspicuous of these is that they all produce a prodigious amount of work. The second is that they never know fatigue. And the third is that their minds grow more brilliant as they grow older, instead of less brilliant.

"I believe that every man can multiply his own ability by almost constant wordless realization of his unity with his Source. I have, myself, made that feeling so much a part of me that I actually feel myself to be an extension of the Source; that my works are not my own, but interpretations of this Source."
"There are no limitations set by this electric universe upon any man's multiplication power. Each man sets his own limitations in accordance with his desires.

It is there in unlimited quantities, but the gauge of the kind of wire each of us is set by ourselves."

Therefore think beauty always if one desire vitality of body and happiness."
