The universe does not favour the greedy, the dishonest, the vicious, although on the mere surface it may sometimes appear to do so; it helps the honest, the magnanimous, the virtuous. THE UNIVERSE DOES NOT FAVOR THE GREEDY THE DISHONEST THE VICIOUS ALTHOUGH ON THE MERE SURFACE IT MAY APPEAR SOMETIMES TO DO SO IT HELPS THE HONEST THE MAGNANIMOUS THE VIRTUOUS
er to succeed, give up all animality and selfishness, by any means; but a portion of it must, at least, be sacrificed. A man whose first thought is bestial indulgence could neither think clearly nor plan methodically; he could not find and develop his latent resources, and would fail in any undertaking. Not having commenced to manfully control his thoughts, he is not in a position to control affairs and to adopt serious responsibilities. He is not fit to act independently and stand alone. But he is limited only by the thoughts, which he chooses. There can be no progress, no achievement without sacrifice, and a man's worldly success will be in the measure that he sacrifices his confused animal thoughts, and fixes his mind on the development of his plans, and the strengthening of his resolution and self-reliance. And the higher he lifts his thoughts, the more manly, upright, and righteous he becomes, the greater will be his success, the more blessed and enduring will be his achievements. L INDULGENCE HE MAY NOT IN ORDER TO SUCCEED GIVE UP ALL ANIMALITY AND SELFISHNESS BY ANY MEANS BUT A PORTION OF IT MUST AT LEAST BE SACRIFICED A MAN WHOSE FIRST THOUGHT IS BESTIAL INDULGENCE COULD NEITHER THINK CLEARLY NOR PLAN METHODICALLY HE COULD NOT FIND AND DEVELOP HIS LATIN RESOURCES AND WOULD FAIL IN ANY UNDERTAKING NOT HAVING COMMENCED MANFULLY TO CONTROL HIS THOUGHTS HE IS NOT IN A POSITION TO CONTROL AFFAIRS AND TO ADOPT SERIOUS RESPONSIBILITIES HE IS NOT FIT TO ACT INDEPENDENTLY AND STAND ALONE BUT HE IS LIMITED ONLY BY THE THOUGHTS WHICH HE CHOOSES THERE CAN BE NO PROGRESS NO ACHIEVEMENT WITHOUT SACRIFICE A MAN'S WORLDLY SUCCESS WILL BE IN THE MEASURE THAT HE SACRIFICES HIS CONFUSED ANIMAL THOUGHTS AND FIXES HIS MIND ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF HIS PLANS AND THE STRENGTHENING OF HIS RESOLUTION AND SELF RELIANCE AND THE HIGHER HE LIFTS HIS THOUGHTS THE MORE MANLY UPRIGHT AND RIGHTEOUS HE BECOMES THE GREATER WILL BE HIS SUCCESS THE MORE BLESSED AND ENDURING WILL BE HIS ACHIEVEMENTS
