Remove the sting, remove the whine, remove the sigh. They are not your friends. There is better company waiting for you.
Page 32 - Errors like straws upon the surface flow ; He who would seek for pearls must dive below.
Page 293 - The ideal has a positive drawing power toward the higher, the greater and the superior. Whoever gives his attention constantly to the ideal, therefore, will steadily rise in the scale. Take things as they are today and proceed at once to make them better. "Expect every change to lead you to something BETTER, and it will. As your faith is so shall it be." HARMONIZING THIS "GREATER SELF" WITH TRUTH Let us again repeat that all Healing, all Success, all Riches, all Happiness are 'miracles...
Page 155 - The pessimist links his mind to everything that is losing ground; the optimist lives, thinks and works with everything that is determined to press on. The pessimist places a damper on everything; the optimist gives life, fire and go to everything. The optimist is a building force; the pessimist is always an obstacle in the way of progress.
