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

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

Make life a constructive effort. –Alfred J. Parker

The greatest word in all languages is understanding. Learn to think about life: the part we are intended to play in the scheme of things. Learn to value the principle of relationship; i.e., we are all One Life, One Breath, and One God. Therefore, there is good and God in all things. Look always for the good and you will find it along with wisdom. –Alfred J.Parker
