The Science of Getting Rich

by Wallace D. Wattles

It is the desire of God that you should get rich.

I've never met anyone who did not want to be rich.

It is not necessary to take exercises in concentration, nor to set apart special times for prayer and affirmation, nor to “go into the silence,” nor to do occult stunts of any kind. There things are well enough, but all you need is to know what you want, and to want it badly enough so that it will stay in your thoughts.

it is the things you do not really care about which require effort to fix your attention upon them.

all charity only tends to perpetuate the wretchedness it aims to eradicate.

By thought, the thing you want is brought to you; by action you receive it.

Do not wait for a change of environment, before you act; get a change of environment by action.

Every inefficient act is a failure, and if you spend your life in doing inefficient acts, your whole life will be a failure.

Do, every day, all that you can do that day, and do each act in an efficient manner.
