CHAPTER 1 - EXCERPTS & HIGHLIGHTS
• A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all
his thoughts.
• Act is the blossom of thought, and joy and suffering are its fruits; thus
does a man garner in the sweet and bitter fruitage of his own husbandry.
• Man is made or unmade by himself; in the armory of thought he forges
the weapons by which he destroys himself; he also fashions the tools
with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and
strength and peace.
• Man is the master of thought, the molder of character, and
maker and shaper of condition, environment, and destiny.
• Only by much searching and mining are gold an diamonds obtained, and man
can find every truth connected with his being if he will dig deep into the mine of
his soul.
