Man must first create peace in himself if he desires to see peace in the world; for lacking peace within, no effort of his can bring any result.

The worlds are held together by the heat of the sun; each of us are atoms held in position by that eternal Sun we call God. Within us is the same central power we call the light, or the love of God; by it we hold together the human beings within our sphere, or, lacking it, we let them fall.
