"You must get rid of the thought of competition. You are to create, not to compete for what is already created. You do not have to drive sharp bargains. You do not have to cheat, or to take advantage. You do not need for any man work for you for less than he earns. You do not have to covet the property of others, or to look at it with wishful eyes; no man has anything of which you cannot have the like, and that without taking what he has away from him. You are to become a creator, not a competitor; you are going to get what you want, but in such a way that when you get it every other man will have more than he has now."
"Riches secured on the competitive plane are never satisfactory and permanent; they are yours today, and another's tomorrow."
"Remember, if you are to become rich in a scientific and certain way, you must rise entirely out of the competitive thought. You must never think for a moment that the supply is limited. Just as soon as you being to thing that all the money is being 'cornered' and controlled by bankers and others, and that you must exert yourself to get laws passed to stop this process, and so on - in that moment you drop into the competitive mind, and your power to cause creation is gone for the time being; and what is worse, you will probably arrest the creative movements you have already instituted."
