“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. Man is never truly great merely for what he is, but ever for what he may become. Until man be truly filled with the knowledge of the majesty of his possibility, until there come to him the glow of realization of his privilege to live the life committed to him, as an individual life for which he is individually responsible, he is merely groping through the years.” -  William George Jordan, 1907, The Kingship of Self-Control

A version of the Ripley scroll, attributed to George Ripley, an English alchemist. Some of the text from the scroll is included in Elias Ashmole’s “Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum” (1652).

The text on each scroll is slightly different - the images above are from the version in the Wellcome Library in London.
