To radiate any quality, that quality must be within yourself.
As thy days, so shall thy strength be which, in modern language, may be translated as thy thoughts so shall thy life be.
The art of life is to live in the present moment.
Supply yourself with a mental equivalent, and the thing must come to you.
To become proficient in any field you must practise. There is simply no achievement without practice and the more practice, provided it is done intelligently, the greater will the proficiency be and the sooner will it be attained.
There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer.
Recognize success with thanksgiving and build more success on that.
When the mind changes the outer expression must change to correspond. We are transferred by the renewing of our minds.
You can have anything in life that you really want, but you must be prepared to take the responsibilities that go with it. God is ready the moment you are.
Man is a mental being, and to know this is the first step on the road to freedom and prosperity, for as long as you believe yourself to be primarily physical, a superior kind of animal, you will remain in bondage – in bondage, that is to say, to your own habits of thought, for there is no other bondage.
Pray definitely for yourself every day or you will get nowhere.
There is nothing in the universe that you cannot do or be if you are mentally ready.
It cannot be your duty to do anything that is beyond your reach or your strength at the moment. It cannot be your duty to do anything that sacrifices your own integrity or your own spiritual development.
We know the Truth; we do not judge by appearances. We know that we live in a mental world, and to know that is the key to life. If a child could be taught only one thing, it should be taught that this is a mental world. I would let all the other things go and teach him that.
Suppose your whole world seems to rock on its foundations. Hold on steadily, let it rock, and when the rocking is over, the picture will have reassembled itself into something much nearer to your heart’s desire.
Realizing God as Truth will save you hours of work in research in any field. You will be led to the right book or the right place or the right person without loss of time, or the necessary information will come to you in some other way.
You cannot expect to reach port if you are faithful in your prayers and meditations for a time, and then for a time you forget God.
The universe is run exactly on the lines of a cafeteria. Unless you claim – mentally – what you want, you may sit and wait forever.
If you are looking to outer, passing, mutable things for either happiness or security, you are not putting God first.
You are always in your right place at the moment. If you don’t like it, change it scientifically by rising in consciousness. This will be permanent.
An early New Thought writer said: “Knead love into the bread you bake; wrap strength and courage in the parcel you tie for the woman with the weary face; hand trust and candor with the coin you pay to the man with the suspicious eyes.” This is beautifully said, and it sums up the Practice of the Presence of God.
