The first sign that you are becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. So we have to know how to act.
If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.
The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.
All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
