“We cannot have a little bit of meditation in the morning, curse at noon, and do something else in the evening. We have to go on a mental diet, for a week we must completely change our mental food. "Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
Phil. 4:8 As a man thinketh in his heart so is he. If I could now single out the kind of mental food I want to express within my world and feast upon it, I would become it. […] Feast on the idea, become identified with the idea as though you were already that embodied state. Walk in the assumption that you are what you want to be. If you feast on that and remain faithful to that mental diet, you will crystallize it. You will become it in this world.”
― Neville Goddard, Five Lessons

“From this moment forward, I will admit to my mind for mental consumption only those ideas and thoughts that heal, bless, inspire, and strengthen.”
― Joseph Murphy Ph.D. D.D.

“Attend to your work, but every once in a while lift up your mind to your heavenly Father to see whether your work is pleasing to Him and to ask His help. Thus you will perform even the most difficult tasks better and more easily.”
― Francis de Sales

“A zeal that is not charitable,” says St. Francis de Sales, “comes from a charity that is not genuine.”
― Jean-Baptiste Chautard, Soul of the Apostolate
