“The abundance of God is like a mighty ocean, so vast you cannot possibly exhaust it or cause a shortage for others. You can go to this inexhaustible ocean with only a small cup and bring away only that small cup of bounty and blessing. Or, if you have faith enough, you can take a bucket and bring away a bucketful. It makes no difference to the ocean. Nor does it matter how often you go. Abundance is always there.”
–Henry Thomas Hamblin (English Optician who Founded the Science of Thought Review, later known as New Vision, based on the principle of Applied Right Thinking, 1873-1958)
