    Anne Brontë

    Paramahansa Yogananda
    “Every day try to help uplift physically, mentally, or spiritually suffering people, as you would help yourself
    or your family. If, instead of living in the misery-making selfish way, you live according to the laws of God, then, no matter what small part you may be playing on the stage of life, you will know that you have been playing your part correctly, as directed by the Stage Manager of all our destinies. Your part, however small, is just as important as the biggest parts in contributing to the success of the Drama of Souls on the Stage of Life. Make a little money and be satisfied with it by living a simple life and expressing your ideals, rather than make lots of money and have worries without end.”
    Paramahansa Yogananda, How To Be A Success: The Wisdom of Yogananda, Volume 4
