Inexperienced community members have a considerable amount of suspiciousness and conceit

23.  You already know that capital deprived of goal-fitness is only a millstone about the neck.  And as a manifestation of infection forms spiritual and bodily ulcers likewise does a manifestation of the lunacy of covetousness bring harm to the spirit and body.

127.  Inexperienced community members have a considerable amount of suspiciousness and conceit, but a community is regarded by Us as an accepted form of life.  And We can speak about it with all the lucidity of long experience.  We are not frightened by any mental confusion.  We have seen enough cosmic refuse and We are not disposed to be a part of it.

172.  Let consciousness illumine the cellar of thinking, and ludicrous disputes will turn into rational discussions, of advantage and of joy.

270.  It is necessary to strengthen each other….Finely-tuned energy itself, inherent in every man, is in need of hygiene.  One need not assume in this anything supernatural; the new life will cognize substance in all infinitude. Therefore it is necessary to unite, affirming communal life on a world basis with lucidity and serenity.      -M:  Community 1926

52.  Co-worker, pretend not to luck, for fiery energies are subtle, and crude egotism does not contain the fires.  Thus let us remember about humility when we wish to be truly successful.      -M:  Fiery World 1935

69.  Prayer has no kinship with violence nor constraint.  The first prayer of the child should not be ridiculed or reproved.  A boy once prayed "O Lord, we are ready to help Thee."  A passer-by was indignant and called the child presumptuous, and in this way the first feeling of unselfishness was defamed.  A little girl prayed about her mother and her cow, and her prayer was ridiculed.

392.  It is not fitting for man to doom himself to calamities.  Long-sown wails and groans turn into a ruinous vortex.  The itch of envy changes into leprosy; from malice the tongue grows numb.  A whole hotbed of disasters is built by the man who gives himself over to the illusion of bad luck.  Such poisoners are intolerable in the Brotherhood.  Yet many dream about brotherhood without thinking what a burden they bear!  How strong is the man who realizes the good fortune of being a man!
