I Had Created Sufficient Age When I

I Had Created Sufficient Age When I Started Out January 1, 1953, And I Said, That's Enough. From That Time On I Thought Of Myself As Being Ageless And In Radiant Health, And I Am. I Haven't Gotten Younger, But I See No Point In Getting Younger. I Can Get Along Just Fine As I Am, And If You Have Learned The Lessons Of The Seasons Of Life Before, You Really Have No Wish To Return To A Prior Season Of Life.

Never Think Of Any Right Effort As Being Fruitless. All Right Effort Bears Fruit, Whether We See The Results Or Not.

If Any Influential Nation Had The Great Spiritual Strength To Lay Down Its Arms And Appear With Clean Hands Before The World, The World Would Be Changed. I See No Evidence That Any Influential Nations Has Such Great Spiritual Strength And Courage. Therefore Disarmament Will Be A Slow Process, Motivated By The Wish To Survive.

We Can Work On Inner Peace And World Peace At The Same Time. On One Hand, People Have Found Inner Peace By Losing Themselves In A Cause Larger Than Themselves, Like The Cause Of World Peace, Because Finding Inner Peace Means Coming From The Self-centered Life Into The Life Centered In The Good Of The Whole. On The Other Hand, One Of The Ways Of Working For World Peace Is To Work For More Inner Peace, Because World Peace Will Never Be Stable Until Enough Of Us Find Inner Peace To Stabilize It.

It Is Through Solving Problems Correctly That We Grow Spiritually. We Are Never Given A Burden Unless We Have The Capacity To Overcome It. If A Great Problem Is Set Before You, This Merely Indicates That You Have The Great Inner Strength To Solve A Great Problem. There Is Never Really Anything To Be Discouraged About, Because Difficulties Are Opportunities For Inner Growth, And The Greater The Difficulty The Greater The Opportunity For Growth.
