Above all be of single aim; have a legitimate and useful purpose, and devote yourself unreservedly to it. – James Allen
Man is made or unmade by himself. By the right choice he ascends. As a being of power, intelligence, and love, and the lord of his own thoughts, he holds the key to every situation. – James Allen
You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you. – James Allen
Mind is the Master–power that molds and makes, and Man is Mind, and ever more he takes the Tool of Thought, and shaping what he wills, brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills–He thinks in secret and it comes to pass; Environment is but his looking-glass. – James Allen
