It is nothing new, these vital lies men tell themselves, muttering and mumbling them like charms and incantations against the powers of Night.

Their creeds were their schemes, their religions their nostrums, their philosophies their devices, by which they half-believed they would outwit the Noseless One and the Night.

Despite the fact I had understood the power of the Master Mind, I had neglected to appropriate and use this power. I had been laboring as a “lone wolf” instead of allying myself with other and superior minds.

I have lived long enough in courts, old Amyas, without a murrain on you, to have found out, first, that it is not so easy to shame the devil; and secondly, that it is better to outwit him; and the only way to do that, sweet chuck, is very often not to speak your mind at all.

Uno de mis dispositivos más inteligentes para el control mental es el miedo. Siembro la semilla del miedo en la mente de la gente, y a medida que germinan y crecen, con el uso, controlo el espacio que ocupan. Los seis miedos más efectivos son: el miedo a la pobreza, el miedo a las críticas, el miedo a la mala salud, el miedo a la pérdida del amor, el miedo a la vejez y el miedo a la muerte.

¡La forma de poder en la que existo es negativa! La oposición controla las fuerzas positivas y yo controlo las negativas. Por eso soy tan poderoso. Yo controlo las fuerzas del odio, el miedo, la vanidad, la avaricia, la codicia, la venganza, la superstición y la lujuria. Esas son las fuerzas que gobiernan el mundo, y yo controlo al 98% de la gente del mundo porque controlo esas fuerzas.

Mi oponente controla todas las fuerzas positivas del mundo, como el amor, la fe, la esperanza y el optimismo. Mi oponente también controla los factores positivos de toda la ley natural en todo el universo, las fuerzas que mantienen la Tierra y los planetas y todas las estrellas equilibradas en su curso. Pero esas fuerzas son mansas en comparación con las que operan en la mente humana bajo mi control. No busco controlar las estrellas y los planetas. Prefiero el control de la mente humana.

Lo logro por medio de un truco muy inteligente. Hago que los padres enseñen a sus hijos a creer como ellos (los padres) en la religión, la política, el matrimonio y otras materias importantes. De esa manera, como ves, cuando obtengo el control de la mente de una persona, puedo perpetuarlo fácilmente haciendo que ella me ayude a fijarlo en la mente de su descendencia. ST: ¿De qué otras formas

Tiene mal genio y carece de control sobre sus emociones. Su personalidad no posee magnetismo y no atrae a los demás. Tiene opinión sobre todo, pero conocimiento exacto sobre nada. Puede ser un todólogo, pero bueno en nada. Se niega a cooperar con quienes lo rodean, incluso con aquellos de quienes depende para obtener comida y refugio. Comete el mismo error una y otra vez; nunca se beneficia del fracaso. Tiene mente estrecha y es intolerante en todos los temas, siempre listo para crucificar a aquellos que puedan estar en desacuerdo con él. Espera todo de los demás, pero está dispuesto a dar poco o nada a cambio. Puede empezar muchas cosas, pero no completa nada. Es ruidoso en su condena a su gobierno, pero nunca dice definitivamente cómo se puede mejorar.

Tiene una meta importante en la vida, por la cual está siempre trabajando, y muchas metas más pequeñas, todas las cuales conducen a su esquema central. El tono de su voz, la rapidez de su paso, el brillo en sus ojos, la velocidad de sus decisiones lo marcan con claridad como una persona que sabe exactamente lo que quiere y está decidida a conseguirlo, sin importar cuánto tiempo eso pueda tomar, o qué precio debe pagar. Si le hacen preguntas, él da respuestas directas, y nunca recurre a las evasiones o a subterfugios. Extiende muchos favores a los demás, pero acepta los favores con moderación, o no los acepta. Lo encontrarán al frente, ya sea jugando un juego o luchando en una guerra. Si no sabe las respuestas, lo dice con franqueza. Tiene buena memoria, nunca ofrece una coartada por sus limitaciones. Nunca culpa a los demás por sus errores, no importa si lo merecen. Solía ser conocido como un guerrero, pero, en los tiempos modernos, se le llama Midas. Lo encontrarás dirigiendo el negocio más grande de la ciudad, viviendo en la mejor calle, conduciendo el mejor automóvil y haciendo sentir su presencia donde sea que se encuentre.

Es una inspiración para todos los que entran en contacto con su mente. La principal característica distintiva del no errante es esta: tiene una mente propia y la usa para todos los propósitos.

Henry Ford es un no errante. Si hubiera sido un errante, se hubiera preguntado por qué alguien no construye un vehículo autopropulsado, fiable y de precio popular, pero nunca se hubiera comprometido a construir una máquina así. Si hubiera sido un errante, podría haber dicho: me gustaría construir automóviles, pero no puedo hacerlo porque no tengo capital. Si Ford hubiera sido un errante, podría haber ofrecido la coartada de que nació pobre, o que carecía de la educación suficiente para convertirse en el fabricante de automóviles número uno del mundo; y su coartada se habría basado en la verdad.

No tendré que negar tu historia. Mis seguidores lo harán por mí, lo verás.

If they knew the difference between temporary defeat and failure, they would not quit when they meet with opposition from life. If they knew that every form of defeat, and all failures, bring with them the seed of unborn opportunity, they would keep on fighting and win. Success usually is but one short step beyond the point where one quits fighting.

Cuando un hombre se consume por el deseo de posesiones materiales y poder personal sobre sus semejantes, y olvida que su más grande privilegio en el plano terrestre es prestar un servicio útil a los demás, crea un arma de autodestrucción.

Q Will a plan based upon immoral or unjust ends succeed as quickly as one motivated by a keen sense of justice and morality? A Through the operation of the law of compensation, everyone reaps that which he sows. Plans based on unjust or immoral motives may bring temporary success, but enduring success must take into consideration the fourth dimension, time. Time is the enemy of immorality and injustice. It is the friend of justice and morality. Failure to recognize this fact has been responsible for the crime wave among the youths of the world. The youthful, inexperienced mind is apt to mistake temporary success for permanency. The youth often makes the mistake of coveting the temporary gains of immoral, unjust plans, but neglects to look ahead and observe the penalties which follow as definitely as night follows day.

I have learned that those who meet with difficulties which seem insurmountable may, if they will do so, best overcome these difficulties by forgetting them for a time and helping others who have greater problems.

I do not know exactly what this “other self” is, but I know enough about it to lean upon it in a spirit of absolute faith in times of difficulty, when the ordinary reasoning faculty of my mind seems to be inadequate for my needs.

There is something infinitely worse than being forced to work. It is being forced not to work. In the main, that depression was more of a blessing than it was a curse, if analyzed in the light of the changes it brought.” Is Hill being harsh here, or is he looking beyond the immediate cause and effect of economic disaster to the underlying spiritual result that comes from a true crisis? Can our present economic travails be more of a blessing than a curse? Can economic hardship, such as the loss of a job, be a blessing in disguise? Perhaps yes, if the result is the awakening of an entrepreneurial spirit and the creation of a new business.
