1. Thought is like a bubble rising to the surface; it is follwed by the word, the word by the form, and we are the heirs of good and evil thought.
2. We are what our thoughts have made us, so take care of what you think; if you have to think, think good thoughts, great thoughts, because what we think we tend to become.
3. Difference is the first sign of thought, and every new thought must create opposition; when this variation in thought is kept up, we must exist; and we need not quarrel because of that variety.
4. Thoughts can be guided and controlled; our thoughts make things becautiful, our thoughts make things ugly.
5. Even thinking the least good of others gradually instils into the heart the strength of a lion; whatever we shall be in the future will be the result of what we think and do now.
