Jordan begins by discussing the importance of self-control and the power of thought. He then goes on to explore the role of faith, patience, and perseverance in achieving inner peace.Throughout the book, Jordan emphasizes the importance of living in the present moment and letting go of worries about the past and future. He also stresses the need to cultivate positive habits and attitudes, such as gratitude and forgiveness.The Majesty of Calmness is a timeless classic that offers valuable insights into the human condition. It is a must-read for anyone looking to improve their mental and emotional well-being and find greater peace and happiness in life.Nature is very un-American. Nature never hurries. Every phase of her working shows plan, calmness, reliability, and the absence of hurry. Hurry always implies lack of definite method, confusion, impatience of slow growth. The Tower of Babel, the world's first skyscraper, was a failure because of hurry. The workers mistook their arrogant ambition for inspiration. They had too many builders, --and no architect. They thought to make up the lack of a head by a superfluity of hands. This is a characteristic of Hurry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
