Odabrani aforizmi između 17,301 and 17,700:

17,361.

If you dare

            To fail,

You are bound

            To succeed.

Ako imaš hrabrosti

            Da doživiš neuspeh,

Onda ti je uspeh

            Zagarantovan.

17,362.

Success needs tremendous

            And endless

                        Effort.

Za uspeh je potreban ogroman

            I beskrajan

                        Napor.

17,363.

Progress needs Grace,

            Ceaseless Grace

                        From Above.

Za napredak je potrebna Milost,

            Neprestana Milost

                        Odozgo.

17,383.

Think of the very first day

You accepted the spiritual life.

Immediately you will get back

Your intensity, your purity,

            Your love of God.

Pomisli na onaj dan

Kad si prihvatio duhovni život.

Smesta će ti se vratiti

Tvoj intenzitet, tvoja čistota,

            Tvoja ljubav prema Bogu.

17,444.

God tells us what to do

Only when He feels

That we are ready

            To listen to Him.

Bog nam kaže šta da radimo

Samo kad oseća

Da smo spremni

            Da Ga poslušamo.

17,448.

To have a divine thought

Is to walk upon

A rose-petal carpet.

Imati božansku misao

Jeste koračati

Po tepihu od ružinih latica.

17,475.

God does not want

            To punish us

By fulfilling

All our desires.

Bog ne želi

            Da nas kazni

Tako što bi ispunio

Sve naše želje.

17,476.

How to open Heaven's Door?

Just open up your own

            Heart-door.

Heaven's Door

Will automatically open.

Kako da otvoriš Nebeska Vrata?

Samo otvori vrata

            Tvog sopstvenog srca.

Nebeska vrata

Će se automatski otvoriti.

17,604.

You must trust yourself,

Even when the whole world

            Doubts you.

Moraš da veruješ u sebe,

Čak i kad ceo svet

            U tebe sumnja.
