“Most people consider life a battle, but it is not a battle, it is a game. It is a game, however, which cannot be played successfully without the knowledge of spiritual law.”
“To play successfully the game of life, we must train the imaging faculty.”
“There is always plenty on manʹs pathway; but it can only be brought into manifestation through desire, faith or the spoken word.”
“Nothing stands between man and his highest ideals and every desire of his heart, but doubt and fear. When man can wish without worrying, every desire will be instantly fulfilled.”
“The object of the game of life is to see clearly oneʹs good and to obliterate all mental pictures of evil.”
“One of the greatest messages given to the race through the scriptures is that God is manʹs supply and that man can release, through his spoken word, all that belongs to him by divine right. He must, however, have perfect faith in his spoken word.”
“If one asks for success and prepares for failure, he will get the situation he has prepared for.”
“Man must prepare for the thing he has asked for, when there isnʹt the slightest sign of it in sight.”
“Man can only receive what he sees himself receiving.”
“A keen observer of life once said, ʺno man can fail, if some one person sees him successful.ʺ Such is the power of the vision, and many a great man owed his success to a wife, or sister, or a friend who ʺbelieved in himʺ and held without wavering to the perfect pattern!”
A person knowing the power of the word becomes very careful of his conversation.
“Curses, like chickens, come home to roost.ʺ If a man wishes someone ʺbad luck,ʺ he is sure to attract bad luck himself. If he wishes to aid someone to success, he is wishing and aiding himself to success.”
“Every disease is caused by a mind not at ease.”
“Any disharmony on the external indicates there is mental disharmony. ʺAs the within, so the without.”
“The man who is centered and established in right thinking, the man who sends out only good‐will to his fellow‐man, and who is without fear, cannot be touched or influenced by the negative thoughts of others.”
“Life is a mirror, and we find only ourselves reflected in our associates.”
“Living in the past is a failure method and a violation of spiritual law.”
“Man receives only that which he gives. The Game of Life is a game of boomerangs. Manʹs thoughts, deeds and words, return to him sooner or later, with astounding accuracy.”
“Man sees first his failure or success, his joy or sorrow, before it swings into visibility from the scenes set in his own imagination.”
“In order to impress the subconscious, active faith is always essential.”
“Man has so long separated himself from his good and his supply, through thoughts of separation and lack.”

“Man must make the first move. ʺDraw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to you.”
“Giving opens the way for receiving. In order to create activity in finances, one should give. Tithing or giving one‐tenth of oneʹs income, is an old Jewish custom, and is sure to bring increase. Many of the richest men in this country have been tithers, and I have never known it to fail as an investment.”
“Intuition is a spiritual faculty and does not explain, but simply points the way.”
“As man becomes spiritually awakened he recognizes that any external disharmony is the correspondence of mental disharmony. If he stumbles or falls, he may know he is stumbling or falling in consciousness.”
“Sometimes an insignificant incident may be the turning point in a manʹs life.”
“Anger blurs the visions, poisons the blood, is the root of many diseases, and causes wrong decision, leading to failure.”
“I have been sometimes asked, ʺSuppose one has several talents, how is he to know which one to choose?ʺ Demand to be shown definitely, Say: ʺInfinite Spirit, give me a definite lead, reveal to me my perfect self‐expression, show me which talent I am to make use of now.ʺ
“Man so often limits himself in his demands.”
“All power is given man (through right thinking) to bring his heaven upon his earth, and this is the goal of the ʺGame of Life.ʺ
