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

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

There is nothing in life harder to learn that the lesson of service to your fellow man - to love him for what he is. It is easy to love yourself, but it is hard to love someone else. That is the lesson we have to learn. Usually we learn this lesson through bitter experiences. –Alfred J. Parker

Breathing and right thinking will advance the mind and its control over the bodily functions and emotions, thus does transmutation of the emotions lift the mind above the plane of desire into the realm of consciousness and attach a spiritual ideal to life, a reason for being. –Alfred J. Parker
