    - The divine idea of one’s right place is so all-powerful that nothing can obstruct the vision of it nor the path to it.

    - We cannot exist at peace, and have our neighbors in turmoil and distress.  As we, in our consciousness, see them in God, we too, become more secure in His love.

    - We must never become so idealistic that we lose contact with human necessity. Jesus did not, and Mrs. Eddy did not.

    - Unless all men are at one with Mind in our consciousness, we are not ourselves wholly at one with Mind.

    - The divine in you must forever detect universal error, and individually reject its poison.

    - What do you do when life to you becomes less painful and more agreeable?  Seek Principle more earnestly, or think of some way to have a pleasant time?

    - Individuality is not developed; it is conferred upon us.

    - Money has become the great Red Dragon in the field of contribution, and has attempted to swallow up all the joy of giving.

    - When one thinks he begins to possess, he begins to lose.

    - Establish life in order to overcome death.

    - When Jesus dismissed all temptations to desire personal and isolated good for himself, angels came and ministered unto him.

    - Freedom includes economic security, but economic security does not insure freedom.

    - The human mind is forever an escapist and a coward.

    - Intelligent writers and speakers have raised their voices in all ages, but the fewness of the followers has become proverbial.

    - We have an active part in the systems of universal civilization.  When we do not fill it, we become a center of disintegration – we become diseased cells in the body politic.

    - No halos grow around our heads because we are too modest to step forth and take our place in church, school. or state.  No crown of jewels awaits the timid person who says, “Oh, my vote doesn’t count.  Others can fill positions better than I can.” You become a disease cell the moment such a thought is allowed to dwell in your consciousness.

    - We prove who we are by the calls we answer.

    - Do you companion with the stars?

    - The absolute mastery of details belongs to God.

    - Reformation must follow revelation; else the groundwork is being laid for revolution and catastrophe.

    - Do not let a minor adjustment grow into a major emergency.

    - What is gained from erroneous thinking except a bad habit?

    - A cold wet blanket never invites spontaneous embrace.

    - Let us never let the color go out of our lives.

    - We must go forward into new channels or we will decay in old ruts.

    - We are compelled to use the baser weapons of mortality because we have failed to use the higher sword of Spirit.

    - Why should we care what human experience wakens us to our incorporeality? We can learn by Science if we will, but if we have to learn by suffering, let us learn, not lament and languish.

    - A man may fail many times but he is not a failure until he begins blaming someone else.

    - Your conversation is dyed the color of your reactions. Let us make sure our reactions are based on fact, not prejudice.

    - You are colorful, symmetrical being.

    - Let us judge our substance only by our spirituality, not by our material possessions.

    - Did you ever hear anyone say: “I have lived right, why should I suffer?” That statement or attitude of mind, remember, is what made the children of Israel have to wander 38 years longer in the wilderness.

    - Enduring peace can be established only by the Prince of Peace.

    - Conversation and conversion come from the same root word.

    - We are helping people to live courageously, or ignominiously die, by our every conversation.

    - Does the argument come to you that you didn’t come forth from as good a family, or have as good opportunities as someone else? – Then all the more stand on the fact that you came forth from God, that your background is God Himself.

    - The courage to live in obedience to God’s will, distinguished Jesus, and it will distinguish you.

    - We have scarcely begun to live the truth we know. The stage is set as never before for active Christian living.

    - The age is calling you.
