I have displayed more devotion to God than anyone else among the numerous Christians in Korea until today. A person with faith will surely develop. From the faithful heart of an individual, one will advance forward and experience the heart of the family, of the people, and then of the world. Therefore, if there is someone who with faithful heart makes more devotion, then God will hold on to that person. If God were to hold on to someone without such qualifications, then God could not carry through his strategy. For people who have been granted the mission to defend the Kingdom of Heaven, the most serious question is how they guide their situation with faith. (25-318)

Your devotion has to be touching. You must experience sadness. You should shed tears of sorrow whose cause only you know. There should be a repetition of life-style in which even when you are walking on the road your feelings are so uncontrollable that you hold on to the telephone pole to suppress yourself. This is how my life is. I go back and forth in the 50 states and say such prayers. When I pray that way, the axis of Heaven will be secured firmly. Thus, as I continue to make devotion, the battle will eventually end with God's victory. (145-119)

If you do not act according to the Principle, then there will not be development. For this reason, the Principle of the Unification Church is not some fanciful doctrine. It is a scientific principle. If it is not practiced in reality, then progress will not take place. God will not be moved. (56-346)

You must be honest. If you are hiding things inside and are not straightforward then you cannot develop. But an honest person will make progress. That is because the universe will back that person up. Wherever he goes the universe will support him. Regardless of the east or the west, past, present, or future, to someone who is honest, everyone will become friends. (100-88)

When you want to find out what kind of people will make progress, then all you have to do is look at how attentive the people around them are toward them. If such attention fades, then the person will eventually decline, and a second figure who is receiving the attention of others will appear. (17-333)

A person should have desires. When you are at work, you should have the desire to do more today than yesterday, do more tomorrow than today, do more day after tomorrow than tomorrow. Only then can you advance. (21-91)

The sole and ultimate purpose is investing all your efforts in your own development. If you expect others to recognize your merit while you are still in the process of carrying out your responsibility, then you are a fool. This is like going to a party, and asking for kimchi without knowing whether or not the host is willing to even give you rice-cake. Think about it. Without knowing he will treat you with a meal, how can you take your spoons out? You should lead a life with proper etiquette. (23-146)

A person who, upon facing the coming of autumn, already starts preparing for spring will prosper and grow. On the other hand, those who even after the advent of fall do not prepare for the coming spring are like dead people. They do not prepare to receive spring, yet a tree starts to prepare for the coming of spring as soon as its leaves fall down in autumn. Do you understand? You must understand this. No matter how cold the winter and how severe the cold winds, we must persevere in order to receive spring. Similarly, no matter how great the persecution, it should not become a problem for us. You should be able to drop anchors of life from your four limbs. (41-150)

If you want to restore, then from one to two... For this reason you must prepare your mind to start from the bottom. If that is impossible, then you should be prepared to move up by speeding up your work. "Let's hurry up and move into New York. Go to New York," is what we should be saying. Each person must decide whether it is going to take three years or five years, for example. Do you have such an attitude? Do you or not? You should have something like this, no? You should have the determination, "I will go even if it takes seven years. When that time comes, I will mobilize all that I have prepared for seven years." A person who thinks, "All the trials of the past seven years were preparations for this day," will win victory. If you put forward as conditions all the battle victories up to date, and when you attack with concentrated efforts, then you can make a big breakthrough. You should understand this quickly.

Do not try to become successful too hastily. You should not be in a position where you are incapable of carrying out the wrap-up tasks that come after your success. On the other hand, even if you gain victory only gradually and can continue on and maintain for eternity, this is what you should be aiming for instead. This is the type of success that I want. In order to achieve that, you must pave the way more diligently. You must be steadfast. (66-111)
