"Thoughts are indestructible, as real as radio and television waves, as powerful as life, and they are never lost. While it is true that thoughts may come unbidden, you can cast out thoughts that are harmful and substitute good thoughts instead."

"By your thoughts you are daily, even hourly, building your life, just as surely as the mason builds a wall by placing brick upon brick, or stone upon stone. By your thoughts you are erecting the temple of your life; you are carving your destiny, as the sculptor with his chisel and hammer, chip by chip, creates the finished statue from a block of marble or from a rough stone."

"By your thoughts you are daily, even hourly, building your life; you are carving your destiny."
