If You Would Perfect Your Body, Guard

Fixedness Of Purpose Is The Root Of All Successful Efforts.

He Who Would Accomplish Little Must Sacrifice Little; He Who Would Achieve Much Must Sacrifice Much; He Who Would Attain Highly Must Sacrifice Greatly.

In All Human Affairs There Are Efforts, And There Are Results, And The Strength Of The Effort Is The Measure Of The Result.

They Who Have No Central Purpose In Their Life Fall An Easy Prey To Petty Worries, Fears, Troubles, And Self-pitying, All Of Which Are Indications Of Weakness, Which Lead, Just As Surely As Deliberately Planned Sins (though By A Different Route), To Failure, Unhappiness, And Loss, For Weakness Cannot Persist In A Power Evolving Universe.

A Man Has To Learn That He Cannot Command Things, But That He Can Command Himself; That He Cannot Coerce The Wills Of Others, But That He Can Mold And Master His Own Will: And Things Serve Him Who Serves Truth; People Seek Guidance Of Him Who Is Master Of Himself.
