“Self-respect is the best means of getting the respect of others.”

“Let us consider the power of FAITH, as it is now being demonstrated, by a man who is well known to all of civilization, Mahatma Gandhi, of India. In this man the world has one of the most astounding examples known to civilization, of the possibilities of FAITH. Gandhi wields more potential power than any man living at this time, and this, despite the fact that he has none of the orthodox tools of power, such as money, battle ships, soldiers, and materials of warfare. Gandhi has no money, he has no home, he does not own a suit of clothes, but HE DOES HAVE POWER. How does he come by that power? HE CREATED IT OUT OF HIS UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRINCIPLE OF FAITH, AND THROUGH HIS ABILITY TO TRANSPLANT THAT FAITH INTO THE MINDS OF TWO HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE. Gandhi has accomplished, through the influence of FAITH, that which the strongest military power on earth could not, and never will accomplish through soldiers and military equipment. He has accomplished the astounding feat of INFLUENCING two hundred million minds to COALESCE AND MOVE IN UNISON, AS A SINGLE MIND. What other force on earth, except FAITH could do as much? There will come a day when employees as well as employers will discover the possibilities of FAITH. That day is dawning. The whole world has had ample opportunity, during the recent business depression, to witness what the LACK OF FAITH will do to business.” 

“Fears are nothing more than a state of mind.”

“Money, without brains, always is dangerous. Properly used, it is the most important essential of civilization.

“There is one weakness in people for which there is no remedy. It is the universal weakness of LACK OF AMBITION!”

“Every great leader of the past, whose record I have examined, was beset by difficulties and met with temporary defeat before 'arriving”

“Blessed is the man who has come to know that our muted thoughts are our sweetest thoughts. “Blessed is the man who, from the blackest depths, can see the luminous figure of LOVE, and seeing, sing; and singing, say: "Sweeter far than uttered lays are the thoughts I have of you.”

“Remember,too,that all who succeed in life get off to a bad start,and pass through many heartbreaking struggles before they "arrive". The turning point in the lives of those who succeed usually comes at some moment of crisis,through which they are introduced to their "other selves"

“everything you touch will begin to transmute itself into an asset for your benefit.”

“A man’s best recommendation is that which he gives himself . . . by rendering superior service in the right mental attitude.”

“those who master and apply the secret will reach high stations, accumulate riches, and bargain with life on their own terms, even if their schooling has been meagre.”

“Keep your mind fixed on what you want in life, not on what you don’t want.”

“One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat.”

“Money is as shy and elusive as the “old time” maiden.”

“Edison failed 10, 000 times before he made the electric light. Do not be discouraged if you fail a few times.”
