Indeed, the danger of the overt act does not constitute the greatest danger. That really lies in the first thought of the series.

The woodsman can split the log if he can only make an entrance into the wood with the point of his wedge, and so it is with thinking. A person should not allow in his mind the smallest item of discordant thought, because it is there that the danger lies.

It is the point of the wedge, and safety lies in not admitting even that.

That wise old Chinese philosopher, Laotsze, said: "Contemplate a difficulty while it is easy. Manage a great thing while it is small."

If the seed is destroyed, there will be neither the little shoot nor the rank weed to be uprooted and cast away.

The trouble with many of us is that we do not understand, and we allow weeds to grow until they overrun the garden.

Let there be neither hesitation nor delay. Discordant thinking gathers force and persistence with every moment it continues.

Delay affords it an opportunity to entrench itself, and this only increases the difficulty. If one neglects the little fire, he cannot stop the big conflagration.

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."
