No Sin Is Committed Merely Because A Thought Enters The Mind, Provided It Is Not Made Welcome. Perhaps We May Use The Figure That The Thought First Passes Into An Anteroom, Where It Stands Before The Mind Acting As A Judge. No Matter How Sordid Or Evil, It Has Not Touched The Personality With Its Infamy Nor In Any Way Laid Guilt Upon The Soul Unless And Until The Mind Acting As Judge Admits It With A Welcome. If The Mind Decides Against It And Dismisses It, The Personality Is Not Only Unsullied But Is, On The Contrary, By This Act Of Rejection Stimulated And Strengthened In Moral Power.

The Best Way To Forget Your Own Problems Is To Help Someone Else Solve Theirs. The Best Way To Prepare For Life Is To Begin To Live. The Best Way To Respond To Wrong Is To Do What's Right. The Better We Know Ourselves The Less We'll Criticize Others. The Bigger Your Problems, The Bigger Your Prayer Should Be.

We Tend To Get What We Expect.
