“We must get to the point in our lives. What is the point? To become a new kind of man or woman, having inner command and outer excellence.”

“Beauty is only skin deep, but it's a valuable asset if you're poor or haven't any sense.”

“The great solution to all human problems is individual inner transformation.”

“The following terms all mean one and the same thing: God, goodness, mental health, truth, decency, happiness, freedom, reality, peace, love, sensibleness.”

“Humanity appreciates truth about as much as a squirrel appreciates silver.”

“Problems are cured by facing their cause.”

“Evil wants you to think that its power is absolute, endless. It wants to so make you quake and quiver that all you'll do is fall down and worship it.”

“The fact is, everything we want or yearn for is won through other people. No man on an island is happy; he is merely existing. The joyous life is the one filled with rich relationships.”

“Personal power gives you a sense of accomplishment. It enables you to live fully and zestfully. It provides you with a mature reason for liking yourself better. To state it another way, it is the mark of a healthy and well-adjusted individual to seek self-advancement by mastering his human relations.”

“Truth never pleads or compromises or wavers. It invites and awaits your acceptance.”

“Inner guidance is heard like soft music in the night by those who have learned to listen.”

“Whatever you want, you have the power to attain it. The man or woman who calmly and matter-of-factly accepts this pronouncement at face value will soon find himself working magical accomplishments far beyond that which he previously dreamed possible.”

“We are enslaved by anything we do not consciously see. We are freed by conscious perception.”

“We are exactly where we have chosen to be.”

“People appreciate and follow the person who can persuade them properly. Make that person you.”

“Our freedom can be measured by the number of things we can walk away from.”

“Learn to see things as they really are, not as we imagine they are.”
