“Just keep your conscious mind busy with expectation of the best.”

“The best thing you can do is just keep busy, keep working hard, so you’re not dwelling on it all the time. Work is the best antidote for sorrow.”

“In times of great stress or adversity, it’s always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive.”

“When you expect the best, you release a magnetic force in your mind which by a law of attraction tends to bring the best to you.”

“Geniuses are horrid, intolerant, easily offended, sleeplessly self-conscious men, who expect their wives to be angels with no further business in life than to pet and worship their husbands. Even at the best they are not comfortable men to live with; and a perfect husband is one who is perfectly comfortable to live with.”

“To keep your secret is wisdom, but to expect others to keep it is folly.”

“It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.”

“Just as tops spinning violently and rapidly becomes steady, the most rapid movements results in calm. Like the eye of the typhoon, which, is always peaceful, inner calm results in great strength of action. Calm and action are exactly one. Only when we keep our one point and unify our mind and body, can we find spare time even when we are busy. Keep a calm mind and you will be able to perform to the best of your ability, even in an emergency or when facing important tasks.”

“You are not in control of your mind—because you, as a conscious agent, are only part of your mind, living at the mercy of other parts.”

“The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would steal them away.”
