I cannot stress too deeply the importance of one's constructive mental attitude toward life. One gets out of life only what one puts into it; everything must be seeded in different degrees. Always express happy thoughts and keep an uncomplaining mind. A complaining mind is a destructive one-destructive to health and happiness. How easily we may be made unhappy depends upon the weakness and ignorance of our own minds. Happy thoughts expressed are like the sunbeams that create warmth-that stimulate one's sense of well being and make us feel happy. Give happiness and you will receive it in return: it is a natural phenomenon of a balanced and well-ordered mind. Do not complain; instead seek the solution to the problem, and then you can do something constructive about it. This can best be accomplished by forgetting self; too much false value is placed upon self and personality, thus developing an overrated and inflated ego that sees all things in proportion to its own ignorance. –Alfred J. Parker

Love is the world's greatest antidote to selfishness. –Alfred J. Parker

The most profound saying to remember is, "A still tongue makes a wise head." Do much thinking before you do much talking. –Alfred J. Parker

Rewards are selfish desires; seek not the individuality of selfishness; learn to know the path of creative expression nature intended you to follow, for that is your individuality for this life. –Alfred J. Parker
