Rivers, winds, forces of fire and steam are impotent compared to those energies of mind and heart, that make men equal to transforming whole communities and even nations.

Who can estimate the soul's conscious power?
Who can measure the light and heat of last summer?
Who can gather up the rays of the stars?
Who can bring together the odors of last year's orchards?
There are no mathematics for computing the influence of man's voluntary thought, affection and aspiration upon his fellows.
Man has also an unpurposed influence.

Power goes forth without his distinct volition.

Like all centers of energy, the soul does its best work automatically.

The sun does not think of lifting the mist from the ocean, yet the vapor moves skyward.
