hile he is convinced that he can't. The "I can't" philosophy has
wrecked more careers than almost anything else. Confidence is the
magic key that unlocks the door of supply.

I never knew a man to be successful who was always talking about
business being bad. The habit of looking down, talking down, is fatal
to advancement.

The Creator has bidden every man to look up, not down. He made him to
climb, not to grovel. _There is no providence which keeps a man in
poverty, or in painful or distressing circumstances_.

The Creator never put vast multitudes of people on this earth to
scramble for a limited supply, as though He were not able to furnish
enough for all. There is nothing in this world which men desire and
struggle for, and that is good for them, of which there is not enough
for everybody.

Take the thing we need most--food. We have not begun to scratch the
possibilities of the food supply in America.

The State of Texas could supply food, home, and luxuries to every man,
woman, and child on this continent. As for clothing, there is material
enough in the country to clothe all its inhabitants in purple and fine
linen. We have not begun yet to touch the possibilities of our
clothing and dress supply. The same is true of all of the other
necessities and luxuries. We are still on the outer surface of
abundance, a surface covering kingly supplies for every individual on
the globe.

When the whale ships in New Bedford Harbor and other ports were rotting
in idleness, because the whale was becoming extinct, Americans became
alarmed lest we should dwell in darkness; but the oil wells came to our
rescue with abundant supply. And then, when we began to doubt that
this source would last, Science gave us the electric light.

There is building material enough to give every person on the globe a
mansion finer than any that a Vanderbilt or Rothschild possesses. It
was intended that we should all be rich and happy; that we should have
an abundance of all the good things the heart can crave. We should
live in the realization that there is an abundance of power where our
present power comes from, and that we can draw upon this great source
for as much as we can use.

There is something wrong when the children of the King of kings go
about like sheep hounded by a pack of wolves. There is something wrong
when those who have inherited infinite supply are worrying about their
