Create or perish is the eternal mandate of nature. Be constructive or become frustrated is an equal demand. You cannot escape the conclusion that whatever this thing is which is seeking expression through everything, it can find satisfactory outlet only through constructive and life-giving creativeness.
God gives some more than others because some accept more than others.
Any thought which tends to inspire, to comfort, and to give peace to the mind is good.
I am a gift of joy that God gives to a wonderful world.
Within us is the unborn possibility of limitless experience. Ours is the privilege of giving birth to it!
There is a Power around you that knows and that understands all things. This Power works like the soil; it receives the seed of your thought and at once begins to operate upon it. It will receive whatever you give to it and will create for you and throw back at you whatever you think into it.
Peace comes from the absence of fear, from a consciousness of trust, from a deep, underlying faith in the absolute goodness and mercy, the final integrity of the universe in which we live, and of every cause to which we give our thought, our time and our attention.

There is but one ultimate Power. This Power is to each one what he is to it.
No one can rob us of our own soul, and our spirit is already one with the eternal goodness.
We are not depending on a reed shaken by the wind, but on the Priniciple of Life Itself, for all that we have or ever shall need. It is not some Power, or a great Power, it is all power.
