Of all the beautiful truths pertaining to the soul which have been restored and brought to light in this age, none is more gladdening or fruitful of divine promise and confidence than this  that man is the master of thought, the moulder of character, and the maker and shaper of condition, environment, and destiny. OF ALL THE BEAUTIFUL TRUTHS PERTAINING TO THE SOUL WHICH HAVE BEEN RESTORED AND BROUGHT TO LIGHT IN THIS AGE NONE IS MORE GLADDENING OR FRUITFUL OF DIVINE PROMISE AND CONFIDENCE THAN THIS THAT MAN IS THE MASTER OF THOUGHT THE MOULDER OF CHARACTER AND THE MAKER AND SHAPER OF CONDITION ENVIRONMENT AND DESTINY
" Man is a growth by law, and not a creation by artifice, and cause and effect is as absolute and undeviating in the hidden realm of thought as in the world of visible and material things. A noble and Godlike character is not a thing of favour or chance, but is the natural result of continued effort in right thinking, the effect of long-cherished association with Godlike thoughts. An ignoble and bestial character, by the same process, is the result of the continued harbouring of grovelling thoughts. Man is made or unmade by himself; in the armoury 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. By the right choice and true application of thought, man ascends to the Divine Perfection; by the abuse and wrong application of thought, he descends below the level of the beast. Between these two extremes are all the grades of character, and man is their maker and master.  AS HIS OWN SHADOW SURE MAN IS A GROWTH BY LAW AND NOT A CREATION BY ARTIFICE AND CAUSE AND EFFECT IS AS ABSOLUTE AND UNDEVIATING IN THE HIDDEN REALM OF THOUGHT AS IN THE WORLD OF VISIBLE AND MATERIAL THINGS A NOBLE AND GODLIKE CHARACTER IS NOT A THING OF FAVOUR OR CHANCE BUT IS THE NATURAL RESULT OF CONTINUED EFFORT IN RIGHT THINKING THE EFFECT OF LONG CHERISHED ASSOCIATION WITH GODLIKE THOUGHTS AN IGNOBLE AND BESTIAL CHARACTER BY THE SAME PROCESS IS THE RESULT OF THE CONTINUED HARBOURING OF GROVELLING THOUGHTS MAN IS MADE OR UNMADE BY HIMSELF IN THE ARMOURY 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 BY THE RIGHT CHOICE AND TRUE APPLICATION OF THOUGHT MAN ASCENDS TO THE DIVINE PERFECTION BY THE ABUSE AND WRONG APPLICATION OF THOUGHT HE DESCENDS BELOW THE LEVEL OF BEAST BETWEEN THESE TWO EXTREMES ARE ALL THE GRADES OF CHARACTER AND MAN IS THEIR MAKER AND MASTER
