Every Day Practice Emptying Your Mind Of All Unhealthy Attitudes.

Empty Pockets Never Held Anyone Back. Only Empty Heads And Empty Hearts Can Do That.

When Learning Stops, Decay Sets In.

Believe That All The Resources You Need Are In Your Mind. That Is A Formula That Really Works.

Thoughts And Words Form Your Mental Image. And Since We Become What We Picture Be Sure Your Thoughts And Words Express Prosperity And Blessing Rather Than Poverty And Defeat.

Realize That There Are No Hopeless Situations; There Are Only People Who Take Hopeless Attitudes.

Expecting The Best Means That You Put Your Whole Heart (i.e. The Central Essence Of Your Personality) Into What You Want To Accomplish. People Are Defeated In Life Not Because Of Lack Of Ability, But For Lack Of Wholeheartedness. They Do Not Wholeheartedly Expect To Succeed. Their Heart Isn't In It, Which Is To Say, They Themselves Are Not Fully Given.

Nothing Can Stand In The Way Of The Man Who Focuses His Entire Self On A Problem.

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.
