330: The first and best victory is to conquer self.

It was a great surprise for me when I discovered that most of the ugliness I saw in others, was but a reflection of my own nature.

320: Recognize that you have a will-power and put it into constant use, until it builds a wall of immunity against negative influences in your own mind.

Without doubt, the most common weakness of all human beings is the habit of leaving their minds open to the negative influence of other people.

316: Even a dog or a horse knows when it's master lacks courage; moreover, a dog or a horse will pick up the vibrations of fear thrown off by its master and behave accordingly. A bee will sting the person whose mind is releasing vibrations of fear.

The vibration of fear passes from one mind to another just as quickly and as surely as the sound of the human voice passes from the station to radio.

314: Worry is a state of mind based upon fear. It works slowly, but persistently. It is insidious and subtle. Step by step it "digs itself in" until it paralyzes one's reasoning faculty, destroys self-confidience and initiative.

287: BEfore you can put any portion of this philosophy into successful use, your mind must be prepared to receive it. The preparation is not difficult. It begins with a study, analysis, and understanding of three enemies which you shall have to clear out. These are INDECISION, DOUBT, FEAR

277: Just before going to sleep at night, I would shut my eyes and see, in my imagination, this group of men seated with me around my Council Table.

All men have become what they are because of their Dominating Thoughts and Desires.

263: There are no toll-gates between the finite mind of man and Infinite Intelligence. The communication costs nothing except Patience, Faith, Persistence, Understanding and a Sincere Desire to communicate.

Infinite Intelligence does no business by proxy. You either go direct, or you do not communicate

256: You can't entirely control your subconscious mind, but you can voluntarily hand over to it any plan, desire, or purpose which you wish transformed into concrete form.

241: The most powerful of all human emotions is that of sex. There are other mind stimulants, some of which have been listed, but no one of them, nor all of them combined, can equal the driving power of sex.

234: Not all knowledge, which one accumulates through "experience". Ideas received through the creative faculty are much more reliable.
