„Religion, in its most general view, is such a Sense of God in the soul, and such a conviction of our obligations to him, and of our dependence upon him, as shall engage us to make it our great care to conduct ourselves in a manner which we have reason to believe will be pleasing to him.“

„Are you the strongest of all men, so strong that you can be merciful to me, a weak woman? Here is the undoing of your strength: I am not a weak woman. I am not a little queen. And your mercy will be your undoing.“

Определяя, чего вы хотите, не скромничайте. Не ограничивайте свои пожелания привычными рамками. Ваши устремления должны быть высокими, но при этом вы не должны выходить за пределы сферы врожденных наклонностей. В этой связи следует помнить, что врожденные задатки человека во много раз сильнее, чем нам это кажется, и их эффективность можно постоянно повышать.
если вы поставили перед собой недостижимую цель, значит, у вас плохо развит здравый смысл.
Когда мы поддаемся какому-то чувству, оно становится подсознательным. Если это чувство негативно, нам будет только хуже. Но пока мы можем держать нежелательные чувства на расстоянии, то становимся хозяевами собственной судьбы.
Для того чтобы правильно использовать ресурсы психики, надо настойчиво воплощать в жизнь три совета. Во-первых, направляйте все силы психики и все мысли на поставленную цель. Во-вторых, старайтесь сделать так, чтобы каждое ваше действие было глубоким и спокойно-позитивным. В-третьих, ваши действия должны быть конструктивными, исполненными созидательным духом, неустанным стремлением к высшему, к великим свершениям.
Пока мы точно не знаем, чего хотим, наши силы распыляются.
Человек, обладающий индивидуальностью, живет выше разума и тела. Он способен контролировать силы психики и тела и направлять их. Человек же со слабой индивидуальностью, в той или иной степени, живет внутри психики и тела. Он не контролирует их, а, напротив, находится под влиянием внешних факторов, которые воздействуют на его сознание.
Когда углубленное осознание жизни сочетается со спокойным, уравновешенным состоянием, человек получает постоянный доступ к источнику неограниченной силы. То есть каждый день он получает столько сил, сколько ему нужно.
Однако из глубинной жизни мы можем получить только то, что постоянно замечаем и постоянно осознаем. Наше сознание – это дверь между жизнью внешней и внутренним величием. Открыть эту дверь мы способны только тому, что осознаем.
Когда мы безгранично верим в себя, то превращаемся в настоящий источник энергии. Мы буквально переполнены истинной жизненной силой. Таких людей любят. Они всегда вдохновляют окружающих на более достойную жизнь и на воистину великие достижения.
„The weak are more likely to make the strong weak than the strong are likely to make the weak strong.“

„Islam is my religion, but I believe my religion is my personal business. It governs my personal life, my personal morals. And my religious philosophy is personal between me and the God in whom I believe; just as the religious philosophy of these others is between them and the God in whom they believe. And this is best this way. Were we to come out here discussing religion, we’d have too many differences from the outstart and we could never get together.“
— Malcolm X American human rights activist 1925 - 1965
The Ballot or the Bullet (1964), Speech in Detroit, Michigan (12 April 1964)
Контексте: Islam is my religion, but I believe my religion is my personal business. It governs my personal life, my personal morals. And my religious philosophy is personal between me and the God in whom I believe; just as the religious philosophy of these others is between them and the God in whom they believe. And this is best this way. Were we to come out here discussing religion, we’d have too many differences from the outstart and we could never get together. [. ] If we bring up religion, we’ll be in an argument, and the best way to keep away from arguments and differences, as I said earlier, put your religion at home in the closet. Keep it between you and your God. Because if it hasn’t done anything more for you than it has, you need to forget it anyway.
„If you follow a religion but are devoid of the Love of God, then those that do not follow a religion but have the love of God are better.“

„One should not think, "My religion alone is the right path and other religions are false." God can be realized by means of all paths. It is enough to have sincere yearning for God. Infinite are the paths and infinite the opinions.“

Larson was born in Iowa, of Norwegian descent. He attended Iowa State College and a Unitarian theological school in Meadville, Pennsylvania. In his early twenties he became interested in the Mental Science teachings of Helen Wilmans, Henry Wood, Charles Brodie Patterson et al.
In 1898 Larson relocated to Cincinnati, Ohio. In January 1901, he organized the New Thought Temple at his residence at 947 West 17th St. In September 1901 he began to publish Eternal Progress, for several years one of the leading New Thought periodicals, building it to a circulation of over a quarter of a million. Meanwhile, he began his prolific book writing career.
Larson later became honorary president of the International New Thought Alliance and lectured extensively during the 1920s and 1930s. He was a colleague of such notables as William Walker Atkinson, Charles Brodie Patterson, and Home of Truth founder Annie Rix Militz.
In 1912 Larson published a poem that eventually became the Optimist Creed, which in 1922 was adopted by Optimist International, better known as the Optimist Clubs.
„There are multitudes in our congregations who are just waiting while they ought to be acting. They must work, if they would have God work in them. There can be no religion without obedience.“

„Communism is inequality, but not as property is. Property is the exploitation of the weak by the strong. Communism is the exploitation of the strong by the weak.“
— Pierre Joseph Proudhon French politician, mutualist philosopher, economist, and socialist 1809 - 1865
Источник: What is Property? (1840), Ch. V: "Psychological Explanation of the Idea of Justice and Injustice, and the Determination of the Principle of Government and of Right," Part 2: Characteristics of Communism and of Property
Контексте: Communism is inequality, but not as property is. Property is the exploitation of the weak by the strong. Communism is the exploitation of the strong by the weak. In property, inequality of conditions is the result of force, under whatever name it be disguised: physical and mental force; force of events, chance, fortune; force of accumulated property, &c. In communism, inequality springs from placing mediocrity on a level with excellence. This damaging equation is repellent to the conscience, and causes merit to complain; for, although it may be the duty of the strong to aid the weak, they prefer to do it out of generosity, — they never will endure a comparison. Give them equal opportunities of labor, and equal wages, but never allow their jealousy to be awakened by mutual suspicion of unfaithfulness in the performance of the common task.
Communism is oppression and slavery. Man is very willing to obey the law of duty, serve his country, and oblige his friends; but he wishes to labor when he pleases, where he pleases, and as much as he pleases. He wishes to dispose of his own time, to be governed only by necessity, to choose his friendships, his recreation, and his discipline; to act from judgment, not by command; to sacrifice himself through selfishness, not through servile obligation. Communism is essentially opposed to the free exercise of our faculties, to our noblest desires, to our deepest feelings. Any plan which could be devised for reconciling it with the demands of the individual reason and will would end only in changing the thing while preserving the name. Now, if we are honest truth-seekers, we shall avoid disputes about words.
Thus, communism violates the sovereignty of the conscience, and equality: the first, by restricting spontaneity of mind and heart, and freedom of thought and action; the second, by placing labor and laziness, skill and stupidity, and even vice and virtue on an equality in point of comfort. For the rest, if property is impossible on account of the desire to accumulate, communism would soon become so through the desire to shirk.
