““The steps call for no "hard labor." They call for no sacrifice. They do not require one to become ridiculous, or credulous. To apply them calls for no great amount of education. But the successful application of these six steps does call for sufficient imagination  to enable one to see, and to understand, that accumulation of money cannot be left to chance, good fortune, and luck.
