He Who Would Be Useful, Strong, And

Men Are Anxious To Improve Their Circumstances, But Are Unwilling To Improve Themselves; They Therefore Remain Bound. The Man Who Does Not Shrink From Self-crucifixion Can Never Fail To Accomplish The Object Upon Which His Heart Is Set. This Is True Of Earthly As Of Heavenly Things. Even The Man Whose Object Is To Acquire Wealth Must Be Prepared To Make Great Personal Sacrifices Before He Can Accomplish His Object; And How Much More So He Who Would Realize A Strong And Well-poised Life.

Above All Be Of Single Aim; Have A Legitimate And Useful Purpose, And Devote Yourself Unreservedly To It.

It Is A Process Of Diverting One's Scattered Forces Into One Powerful Channel.

Nature Gives All, Without Reservation, And Loses Nothing; Man Or Woman, Grasping All, Loses Everything.

As There Are Silent Depths In The Ocean Which The Fiercest Storm Cannot Reach, So There Are Silent, Holy Depths Of The Hearts Of People Which The Storm Of Sin And Sorrow Can Never Disturb. To Reach This Silence And To Live Consciously In It Is Peace.
