electric lights. Our thoughts often centered on such
details, and these memories could move one to tears.(61)
It is well known that an enforced community life, in
which attention is paid to everything one does at all
times, may result in an irresistible urge to get away, at
least for a short while. (73)
(The consciousness of one's inner value is
anchored in higher, more spiritual things, and cannot
be shaken by camp life. But how many free men, let
alone prisoners, possess it? (85)
Even though conditions such
as lack of sleep, insufficient food and various mental
stresses may suggest that the inmates were bound to
react in certain ways, in the final analysis it becomes
clear that the sort of person the prisoner became was
the result of an inner decision, and not the result of
camp influences alone. (89)
Now - he wrote - fate was offering

We had to learn ourselves

FAITH is a state of
mind which may be induced, or created, by affirmation or
repeated instructions to the subconscious mind, through the

"When men first come into contact with crime,
they abhor it. If they remain in contact with crime for a time,
they become accustomed to it, and endure it. If they remain in
contact with it long enough, they finally embrace it, and
become influenced by it." (64)
Every man is what he is,
because of the DOMINATING THOUGHTS which he permits to
occupy his mind.(67)
Resolve to throw off the influences of any unfortunate
environment, and to build your own life to ORDER. Taking
inventory of mental assets and liabilities, you will discover
that your greatest weakness is lack of self-confidence. This
handicap can be surmounted, and timidity translated into
courage, through the aid of the principle of auto-suggestion. (68)
Stated differently, all
sense impressions which are perceived through the five

A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to ac-
complish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts. (page 13)
Doubts and fears should be rigorously excluded. They are disintegrating elements
which break up
the straight line of effort, rendering it crooked, ineffectual, useless.
Thoughts of doubt and fear can never accomplish anything. They always lead to failure.
Purpose, energy, power to do, and all strong thoughts cease when doubt and fear
creep in. (page 14)
Thought allied fearlessly to purpose becomes creative force. He who knows this
is ready to become something higher and stronger than a bundle of wavering
