When you wholeheartedly adopt a "with all your heart" attitude and go all out with the positive principle you can do incredible things.

When you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him.

Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory.

Start each day by affirming peaceful, contented, and happy attitudes and your days will tend to be pleasant and successful. Such attitudes are active and definite factors in creating satisfactory conditions. Watch your manner of speech then if you wish to develop a peaceful state of mind.

I truly believe that if we keep telling the Christmas story, singing the Christmas songs, and living the Christmas spirit, we can bring joy and happiness and peace to this world.

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.

This is a dynamic and mysterious universe and human life is, no doubt, conditioned by imponderables of which we are only dimly aware. People sometimes say, "the strangest coincidence happened." Coincidences may seem strange, but they are never a result of caprice. They are orderly laws in the spiritual life of man. They affect and influence our lives profoundly. These so-called imponderables are so important that you should become spiritually sensitized to them. Indeed, the more spiritually minded you become the more acute your contact will be with these behind-the-scenes forces. By being alive to them through insight, instruction, and illumination, you can make your way past errors and mistakes on which, were you less spiritually sensitive, you might often stumble.

It's always to soon to quit!

Let us move into the New Year with a great sense of the thrill of living.

Throw your heart over the bar and your body will follow.

The trouble with most of us is that we'd rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.
