“There is a difference between Wishing for a thing and being ready to receive it. No one is ready for a thing, until he believes he can acquire it.

“If you are one of those who believe that hard work and honesty, alone, will bring riches, perish the thought! It is not true!

Riches come, if they come at all, in response to definite demands, based upon the application of definite principles, and not by chance or luck.”
