"Let your mind guard against an attempted invasion by all kinds
of unworthy thoughts. Never doubt its power to repel harmful
ideas. Because of daily defeats we assume that the mind is
inferior to whatever happens to us. This is a wrong assumption.
We simply lack knowledge of the mind's actual supremacy. The
needed knowledge can be won.
So let your mind admit only the
high and the noble, just as a sea-wall permits only the higher
waves to splash over to the other side."
