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.

loving and unselfish thoughts crystallize into habits of self-forgetfulness for others, which solidify into circumstances of sure and abiding prosperity and true riches.

the strength of character gained will be the measure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point for future power and triumph.

Exert yourself ceaselessly in decreasing evil and accumulating good.
