The earth is not the same everywhere. Certain powers are available in one part of the earth that are not available in another part. The rich realize this. They live in these places and they use that power to stay rich.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We learn that those around us are an extension of ourselves, both animate and inanimate. All things have a life and form. We learn to love them all.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you change your state of mind, your whole life changes, nothing remains the same. Nothing looks the same, because you have changed.
