Self-Control

Man has two creators,-his God and himself. His first creator furnishes him the raw material of his life and the laws in conformity with which he can make that life what he will. His second creator,-himself,-has marvellous powers he rarely realizes. It is what a man makes of himself that counts. When a man fails in life he usually says, "I am as God made me." When he succeeds he proudly proclaims himself a "self-made man." Man is placed into this world not as a finality,-but as a possibility. Man's greatest enemy is,-himself. Man in his weakness is the creature of circumstances; man in his strength is the creator of circumstances. Whether he be victim or victor depends largely on himself.
