Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity. –Helen Schucman

Always seek for an ideal, an objective, and the proper method of application. Create a refined and individual personality, a happy and generous one. Develop clean and tidy habits, body cleanliness, and a clean mind. Be conservative, yet creative, in your dress. Avoid showiness in dress and loudness in speech. Make others want to pattern themselves after you: that is a well-deserved compliment, and indicates adherence to Kabalarian ethics of right thinking. –Alfred J. Parker

When viewing or thinking a thought, always clarify it for the value of its logic and reason; divest it of imagination, mystery, and all falseness; see the clear intent, whether constructive or otherwise, and never compromise with illogicality; a statement is, or is not. See it for what it really is, and do not attempt to clothe it with personality; this is what so often leads to jumping to conclusions and self-pity. –Alfred J. Parker

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
