“The very best thing you can do for the whole world is to make the most of yourself.”
Wallace D. Wattles

Wallace D. Wattles

No one of these is better or holier than the other; all are alike desirable, and no one of the three—body, mind, or soul—can live fully if either of the others is cut short of full life and expression.”
Wallace D. Wattles, The Science of Getting Rich
