299 Indigence and indulgence are the two extremes of
300 wretchedness. They are both equally unnatural and the result
301 of mental disorder. A man is not rightly conditioned until he
302 is a happy, healthy, and prosperous being; and happiness,
303 health, and prosperity are the result of a harmonious
304 adjustment of the inner with the outer, of the man with his
305 surroundings.
306 A man only begins to be a man when he ceases to whine and
307 revile, and commences to search for the hidden justice which
308 regulates his life. And as he adapts his mind to that
309 regulating factor, he ceases to accuse others as the cause of
310 his condition, and builds himself up in strong and noble
311 thoughts; ceases to kick against circumstances, but begins to
312 use them as aids to his more rapid progress, and as a means
313 of discovering the hidden powers and possibilities within
314 himself.
