To get the most out of your life, plant in your mind seeds of constructive power that will yield fruitful results.
Your mind grows through use.
Vigilantly guard your mind against erroneous and destructive thought as you would guard your house against burglars and assassins.
Do not let trifles disturb your tranquility of mind. The little pin-pricks of daily life when dwelt upon and magnified, may do great damage, but if ignored or dismissed from thought, will disappear from inanition.
Do not let trifles disturb your tranquility of mind. . . . Life is too precious to be sacrificed for the nonessential and transient. . . . Ignore the inconsequential!
Periods of wholesome laziness, after days of energetic effort, will wonderfully tone up the mind and body.
