It is easy to desire to be good, to progress, to change, but it only happens when we apply and actually do the work necessary for the desired change. Wishful thinking never made anyone rich, beautiful, or happy. Only honest accomplishment does that. –Kabalarian Teachings

One of the greatest obstacles to mental progress is a lack of specific goals which are established in such a manner that they become a regular stairway of effort where one easy activity leads to another easy effort which, when continued over a period of time, allows the ascension of the mind from the simple to the complex and from the physical through the mental to the spiritual. –Kabalarian Teachings

When men speak ill of thee, live so as nobody may believe them. –Plato

Learn to think fearlessly; there is no subject too spiritual, no subject that cannot stand the analysis of mind; spirit depends upon the channel, mind, for reality, and what is more real than logic? –Alfred J. Parker
