Thoughts are forces—like builds like and like attracts like. Thoughtsof strength both build strength from within and attract it from without.Thoughts of weakness actualize weakness from within and attract it fromwithout. Courage begets strength, fear begets weakness. And so couragebegets success, fear begets failure.

Any way the old world goes Happy be the weather! With the red thorn or the rose Singin' all together! Don't you see that sky o' blue! Good Lord painted it for you
Reap the daisies in the dew Singin' all together! Springtime sweet, an' frosty fall Happy be the weather! Earth has gardens for us all, Goin' on together.
Sweet the labor in the light, To the harvest's gold and white— Till the toilers say "Good night," Singin' all together!

There is no quality that exerts more good, is of greater service to allmankind during the course of the ordinary life, than the mind and theheart that goes out in an all-embracing love for all, that is thegenerator and the circulator of a genuine, hearty, wholesome sympathyand courage and good cheer, that is not disturbed or upset by thepassing occurrence little or great, but that is serene, tranquil, andconquering to the end, that is looking for the best, that is finding thebest, and that is inspiring the best in all. There is moreover, noquality that when genuine brings such rich returns to its possessor byvirtue of the thoughts and the feelings that it inspires and calls forthfrom others and that come back laden with their peaceful, stimulating,healthful influences for you.

Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeoning of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.
