As He Thinks, So He Is; As

He Who Would Accomplish Little Must Sacrifice Little; He Who Would Achieve Much Must Sacrifice Much; He Who Would Attain Highly Must Sacrifice Greatly.

A Man Becomes Calm In The Measure That He Understands Himself As A Thought-evolved Being. For Such Knowledge Necessitates The Understanding Of Others As The Result Of Thought, And As He Develops A Right Understanding, And Sees Ever More Clearly The Internal Relations Of Things By The Action Of Cause And Effect, He Ceases To Fuss, Fume, Worry, And Grieve. He Remains Poised, Steadfast, Serene.

As The Plant Springs From, And Could Not Be Without, The Seed, So Every Act Of Man Springs From The Hidden Seeds Of Thought, And Could Not Have Appeared Without Them.

A Particular Train Of Thought Persisted In, Be It Good Or Bad, Cannot Fail To Produce Its Results On The Character And Circumstances. A Man Cannot Directly Choose His Circumstances, But He Can Choose His Thoughts, And So Indirectly, Yet Surely, Shape His Circumstances.

Suffering Is Always The Effect Of Wrong Thought In Some Direction. It Is An Indication That The Individual Is Out Of Harmony With Himself, With The Law Of His Being.
