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

As one grows, the mind is empowered by a natural quality of freedom and warmth. It allows a concept to grow to become the expression of that universal potential. –Kabalarian Teachings

A habit is like a mental roadblock; it stops the expansion and growth of mind; it is something that is always with you and demands physical and mental attention, and sometimes to the almost complete exclusion of the other things of a constructive nature. –Alfred J. Parker

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