James Allen

• A man has to learn that he cannot command things but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others but that he can mold and master his own will.
• A man is literally what he thinks.
• A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life.
• A person is only by the thoughts that he chooses.
• All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts.
• As a man thinketh in his heart, so shall he be.
• As you think, you travel, and as you love, you attract.
• Circumstances do not make the man, they reveal him.
• In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result.
• Men are anxious to improve their circumstances but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound.
• Men do not attract which they want but that which they are.
• No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.
• Our life is what our thoughts make it. A man will find that as he alters his thoughts toward things and other people, things and other people will alter towards him.
• Self-control is strength.
• The dreamers are the saviors of the worlds.
• The law of harvest is to reap more than you sow. Sow an act, and you reap a habit. Sow a habit and you reap a character. Sow a character and you reap a destiny.
• The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom.
• The outer conditions of a person's life will always be found to reflect their inner beliefs.
• They who have conquered doubt and fear have conquered failure.
• Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and right efforts inevitably bring about right results.
• You are today where your thoughts have brought you.
• You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.
