Vernon Howard

You can't come into this world without becoming its victim.

Your friends will be as careless with your life as they are with their own.

We must get to the point in our lives. What is the point? To become a new kind of man or woman, having inner command and outer excellence.

Evil wants you to think that its power is absolute, endless. It wants to so make you quake and quiver that all you'll do is fall down and worship it.

Question the motives of those who make requests of you. Discover what they really want. You may not want to give it.

Personal power gives you a sense of accomplishment. It enables you to live fully and zestfully. It provides you with a mature reason for liking yourself better. To state it another way, it is the mark of a healthy and well-adjusted individual to seek self-advancement by mastering his human relations.
