We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.

How we come to be, and how we are what we are, is beyond any understanding. I have been obsessed by this, trying to understand the very nature of my existence.

Nature seems at each man's birth to have marked out the bounds of his virtues and vices, and to have determined how good or how wicked that man shall be capable of being.

We make the world we live in and shape our own environment.

We are God's creation, and we have a responsibility to keep ourselves at our best.

The True Self is not our creation, but God's. It is the self we are in our depths. It is our capacity for divinity and transcendence.

We're the only creature God ever created that doesn't want to adapt. We want to make it stand still. And one thing that's constant is nature is constantly changing.

From the smallest necessity to the highest religious abstraction, from the wheel to the skyscraper, everything we are and everything we have comes from one attribute of man - the function of his reasoning mind.

God never gives us more than we can handle. Everything that comes our way is coming our way so that we can grow and evolve.

I would like to think all our gifts and talents and abilities come from God.
