“faith is the starting point of all accumulation of riches! faith is the basis of all “miracles,” and all mysteries which cannot be analyzed by the rules of science! faith is the only known antidote for failure! faith is the element, the “chemical” which, when mixed with prayer, gives one direct communication with Infinite Intelligence. faith is the element which transforms the ordinary vibration of thought, created by the finite mind of man, into the spiritual equivalent. faith is the only agency through which the cosmic force of Infinite Intelligence can be harnessed and used by man.”

Failure cannot cope with persistence.”
