Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. "

If you feast on that and remain faithful to that mental diet, you will crystallize it. You will become it in this world.”
