“Men lose their birthrights for a mess of pottage only if they stop using the gifts given them by God for their betterment. By prayer. That is the first and greatest gift. Use the gift of prayer. Ask for strength of mind, and a clear vision. Then sense. Use your sense. … Think long and well. By prayer and good thought you will conquer all enemies.” IfsThinkingMenMindFirstsWellsLongUseAsksGivenLosesPrayerVisionEnemyClearMessConquerGreatest GiftsBirthrightGood ThoughtsBettermentStrength Of MindClear Vision Book:HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY Source: HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY

“Though neither happiness nor respect are worth anything, because unless both are coming from the truest motives, they are simply deceits. A successful man earns the respect of the world never mind what is the state of his mind, or his manner of earning. So what is the good of such respect, and how happy will such a man be in himself? And if he is what passes for happy, such a state is lower than the self-content of the meanest animal.” IfsMenWorldMindSelfStatesAnimalSuccessfulMotiveDeceitEarningTruestSuccessful Man Book:HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY Source: HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY
