The more intense the nature of a man, the more readily will he find meditation, and the more successfully will he practice it. – James Allen
He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little; he who would achieve much must sacrifice much; he who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly. – James Allen
A man is not rightly conditioned until he is a happy, healthy, and prosperous being and happiness, health, and prosperity are the result of a harmonious adjustment of the inner with the outer of the man with his surroundings. – James Allen
Above all be of single aim; have a legitimate and useful purpose, and devote yourself unreservedly to it. – James Allen
We are sick with fascination for the useful tools of names and numbers, of symbols, signs, conceptions and ideas. Meditation is therefore the art of suspending verbal and symbolic thinking for a time, somewhat as a courteous audience will stop talking when a concert is about to begin. – Alan Watts
