Excerpt from Herald of the Golden Age, Vol. 13 In times of danger, difficulty or anxiety, Strength of Character always establishes its supremacy, and draws to its possessor those lesser souls who would be inclined to waver if they had not someone strong upon whom to lean. And in all trying circumstances and situations the odds are always in favour of the strong man or woman. This quality, which, at its highest, is ever based upon Spiritual Enlightenment and Understanding, can be cultivated by habitually placing Principle and Justice before Expediency, by practising self discipline and sacrifice, by following high ideals in scorn of consequence, and by daily endeavour to see clearly, to decide rightly, and to act up to one's resolves with fortitude.
