If we would only testify to the truth as we see it, it would turn out
that there are hundreds, thousands, even millions of other people just as
we are, who see the truth as we do...and are only waiting, again as we
are, for someone to proclaim it. The Kingdom of God is within you.

People travel and wonder at the heights of mountains, at
the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of
rivers, at the vast compass of the oceans, at the circular motion of the
stars, and they pass themselves without even wondering.

A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out
to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of
his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a
worldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whichever
it is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object which
he has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, and
should devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts to
wander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is the
royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if he
fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must
until weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be the
measure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point for
future power and triumph.
