" The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings."-- not in things outside of us, whether near or remote, but in our own thinking, therefore in ourselves.

More than seven hundred years ago good old St. Bernard said: "Nothing can work me damage except myself; the harm that I sustain I carry about with me and am a real sufferer but by my own fault."

In the principles here set forth are both the confirmation and the explanation of his statement. The fault is solely in the thinking.

We may change our thinking and thus change both our course and our conditions.

The cause of danger from our emotions lies within ourselves; it is useless to try to run away from it because we carry it with us as we run.

The recluse carries within his own mind the cause of his difficulties, and this is why monasticism has always been a failure and always will be.

There is no more fitting counsel for the close of this book than is contained in the following words from The School of Life, by William R. Alger: --

"And now there is one more lesson for us to learn, the climax of all the rest; namely, to make a personal application to ourselves of everything which we know. Unless we master this lesson, and act on it, the other lessons are virtually useless, and thus robbed of their essential glory. The only living end or aim of everything we experience, of every truth we are taught, is the practical use we make of it for the enrichment of the soul, the attuning of the thoughts and passions, the exaltation of life. . . . When we do what we know, then first does it put on vital lustre and become divinely precious."
