Fortune is ever elusive, and can only be re-tained by force. Deal with her tenderly and she will forsake you for a stronger man. (In that, me- thinks, she is not unlike other women of my knowledge.)
Failure exists only in the grave. Man, being alive, hath not yet failed; always he may turn about and ascend by the same path he descended by; and there may be one that is less abrupt (albeit longer of achievement), and more adaptable to his condition.
Seek comrades among the industrious, for those who are idle will sap your energies from you.
The Ishmaelite and the leper are the same, since both are abominations in the sight of man, - albeit they differ much, in that the former may be restored to perfect health. The former is entirely the result of imagination; the latter has poison in his blood.
Whatsoever you desire of good is yours. You have but to stretch forth your hand and take it.
Frederick Van Rensselaer Dey
(1861-1922)
Born in Watkins Glen, New York, Frederick was educated at the Havana (N. Y.) Academy, and later was graduated from the Law School of Columbia University.
Dey took up story writing for amusement while convalescing from a serious illness, and later made it his life work.
Two of his earlier books, "The Magic Word" and "The Magic Story," written in 1899, were extremely popular.
Broke, and with no market for his stories after the passing of the dime-novel era, Dey shot himself in his room in the Hotel Broztell, New York City, some time in the night of April 25-26, 1922.
And therein lies the rub. What authors often associated with New Thought were merely writing to make money as opposed to writing with compassion and conviction of the living Truth.
Fillmore, Cramer, Brooks, Cady, Fox, Murphy, Hopkins, Holmes, Butterworth all clearly fall into the last category.
Dey, Atkinson, Wattles and others may or may not fall into the 1st.

And the same principal applies unequivocally today.
All is mind and the real power is within.
As is the Father.
