[MEMORANDA]

August 22, 1934.

If you are worrying about
something today, cease to think
that you need to deal with
external things and know that
you only need to manage your
thoughts. Thoughts, not things,
cause your worry. Your belief
in the power of external
things to disturb you is the
source of your anxiety.

Life is too short a grudge to hold,
a hatred nursed will live
and bitter grow, as you grow old.
Be Merciful, forgive!

a word of blame can make you sad
a word of praise will make you glad.
Since words bring joy or grief your way,
Be careful of the words you say.
