Do Not Take Yourself Too Seriously. You

The Practice Of Patience Toward One Another, The Overlooking Of One Another's Defects, And The Bearing Of One Another's Burdens Is The Most Elementary Condition Of All Human And Social Activity In The Family, In The Professions, And In Society.

It Is Just As Cowardly To Judge An Absent Person As It Is Wicked To Strike A Defenseless One. Only The Ignorant And Narrow-minded Gossip, For They Speak Of Persons Instead Of Things.

Kind Words Are A Creative Force, A Power That Concurs In The Building Up Of All That Is Good, And Energy That Showers Blessings Upon The World.

Love Rejoices In Good Wherever It Finds It; Envy Is Pained By Good, And The Sight Of The Happiness Of Others Hurts The Eyes And The Heart Of The Envious Man. Love Wishes To Give; Envy Would Rather Receive. Love Creates; Envy Destroys. Love Builds Up; Envy Pulls Down. Love Helps Those In Need, Comforts The Afflicted, And Strives To Turn All That Is Evil Into Good; Envy Would Turn The Little Happiness To Be Found In This World Into Evil, Sorrow, And Pain.

Your Silent Thoughts Are Like The Roots Of A Plant. They Remain Hidden In The Dark Recesses Of The Earth, But From Them Stems The Whole Plant--its Life And Form, Its Strength And Beauty. From Them And Through Them The Plant Lives And Dies. So, Too, Your Thoughts, Although Hidden, Are Your Real, Vital Force.
