Thought for the Day

  • Strive to govern moods and habits so as to create peace and happiness with others through happy, constructive thoughts, through little acts of generosity and service, and through seeing good and God in others. Acts of giving never go unrewarded. –Alfred J. Parker

  • Appreciate and respect the Power of the Word (speech); never misuse this power by swearing, vulgarity, lying and deceit, falsifying another's statement, or destroying the reputation of others. –Alfred J. Parker

  • There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried. –Ralph Waldo Emerson

  • Love is something that should not stay the same, but something that improves with age, something that mellows and develops qualities of understanding that alter as our thinking changes. Our love of life is our conception of life, and the principle of growth allows us to alter our concept of life. –Kabalarian Writings
