force

Books are the basis; purity is the force; preaching is the essence; utility is the principle.

"There is no force as formidable as a person who will invest whatever time they have to effect change."

"People follow emotions, not force."

You will be what you will to be; Let failure find its false content In that poor word environment, But spirit scorns it and its free.

It masters time, it conquers space, It cows that boastful trickster, Chance, And bids the tyrant Circumstance Uncrown, and take a servants place

The human will, that force unseen, The offspring of a deathless Soul, Can hew a way to any goal, Though walls of granite intervene.

Be not impatient in delay, But wait as one who understands; When spirit rises and commands, The gods are ready to obey.

-James Allen

This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no 'brief candle' to me. It is sort of a splendid torch which I have a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it over to future generations.

The possibility of stepping into a higher plane is quite real for everyone. It requires no force or effort or sacrifice. It involves little more than changing our ideas about what is normal.

If you put yourself in a position where you have to stretch outside your comfort zone, then you are forced to expand your consciousness.

But who would force the soul tilts with a straw Against a champion cased in adamant.

And so no force, however great, Can stretch a cord, however fine, Into a horizontal line That shall be absolutely straight. Quoted as an example of accidental metre and rhyme.

The force of his own merit makes his way-a gift that heaven gives for him.
