The thoughtless, the ignorant, and the indolent, seeing only the apparent effects of things and not the things themselves, talk of luck, of fortune, and chance. THE THOUGHTLESS THE IGNORANT AND THE INDOLENT SEEING ONLY THE APPARENT EFFECTS OF THINGS AND NOT THE THINGS THEMSELVES TALK OF LUCK OF FORTUNE AND CHANCE
 Whatever your present environment may be, you will fall, remain, or rise with your thoughts, your Vision, your Ideal. You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration: in the beautiful words of Stanton Kirkham Davis, "You may be keeping accounts, and presently you shall walk out of the door that for so long has seemed to you the barrier of your ideals, and shall find yourself before an audience--the pen still behind your ear, the ink stains on your fingers and then and there shall pour out the torrent of your inspiration. You may be driving sheep, and you shall wander to the city-bucolic and open-mouthed; shall wander under the intrepid guidance of the spirit into the studio of the master, and after a time he shall say, 'I have nothing more to teach you.' And now you have become the master, who did so recently dream of great things while driving sheep. You shall lay down the saw and the plane to take upon yourself the regeneration of the world.  YOU EARN NO MORE NO LESS WHATEVER YOUR PRESENT ENVIRONMENT MAY BE YOU WILL FALL REMAIN OR RISE WITH YOUR THOUGHTS YOUR VISION YOUR IDEAL YOU WILL BECOME AS SMALL AS YOUR CONTROLLING DESIRE AS GREAT AS YOUR DOMINANT ASPIRATION IN THE BEAUTIFUL WORDS OF STANTON KIRKHAM DAVIS YOU MAY BE KEEPING ACCOUNTS AND PRESENTLY YOU SHALL WALK OUT OF THE DOOR THAT FOR SO LONG HAS SEEMED TO YOU THE BARRIER OF YOUR IDEALS AND SHALL FIND YOURSELF BEFORE AN AUDIENCE THE PEN STILL BEHIND YOUR EAR THE INK STAINS ON YOUR FINGERS AND THEN AND THERE SHALL POUR OUT THE TORRENT OF YOUR INSPIRATION YOU MAY BE DRIVING SHEEP AND YOU SHALL WANDER TO THE CITY BUCOLIC AND OPEN MOUTHED SHALL WANDER UNDER THE INTREPID GUIDANCE OF THE SPIRIT INTO THE STUDIO OF THE MASTER AND AFTER A TIME HE SHALL SAY I HAVE NOTHING MORE TO TEACH YOU AND NOW YOU HAVE BECOME THE MASTER WHO DID SO RECENTLY DREAM OF GREAT THINGS WHILE DRIVING SHEEP YOU SHALL LAY DOWN THE SAW AND THE PLAIN TO TAKE UPON YOURSELF THE REGENERATION OF THE WORLD
