It is not enough just to be good. We must be good for something. We must contribute good to the world. The world must be a better place for our presence. And the good that is in us must be spread to others. This is the measure of our civility.

We are winning the war against Satan, and the future has never looked brighter.

Believe in yourselves as sons and daughters of God, men and women with unlimited potential to do good in the world. Believe in personal virtue. There is no substitute for it anywhere under the. heavens. Believe in your power to discipline yourselves against the evils which could destroy you. Believe in one another as the greatest generation ever yet to live upon the earth.

The price of life is effort; the acme of effort is accomplishment; the reward of accomplishment is joy.

In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are effects, and the energy of the effort is the measure of the result. Chance isn't. Gifts, powers, cloth, highbrow, and spiritual possessions are the fruits of effort; they're thoughts completed, items carried out, visions found out.

They do not know the darkness and the heartaches; they only see the light and joy, and call it luck; do not see the long and arduous journey, but only behold the pleasant goal, and call it good fortune; do not understand the process, but only perceive the result, and call it chance.

So You will be what you will to be; Let failure find its false content In that poor word, 'environment,' But spirit scorns it, and is free.

In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are re- sults. The strength of the effort is the measure of the result. Change is not. Gifts, powers, material, intel-lectual and spiritual possessions are the fruits of ef- fort. They are thoughts com- pleted, objectives accom- plished, visions realized.

Be not impatient in delays But wait as one who understands; When spirit rises and commands The gods are ready to obey.

Renew your resolution daily, and in the hour of temptation do not depart from the right path.

You will be what you will to be; Let failure find its false content In that poor word, environment, But spirit scorns it, and is free.

In the spiritual as the material, nothing is done without labor, and the higher cannot be known until the lower is fulfilled.
