Thought for the Day

The secret of success in life of each spiritual prophet was humility and humbleness and the burning desire and urge to surrender his own personality or self into the common cause of human progress. –Alfred J. Parker

Think always in the spirit of «we»; this is universal thinking and breeds tolerance and understanding. Remember, what makes you happy will also make others happy. So, learn to share in your thinking and actions. We are all our brother’s keeper, and evolve only as a family. –Alfred J. Parker

Always be individual; never do things that are not right just to be sociable. Being honest with yourself and the Principle is your first duty. –Alfred J. Parker
