A man can only rise, conquer, and achieve by lifting up his thoughts.

Man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild.

... for you will always gravitate toward that which you, secretly, most love.

Composer, sculptor, painter, poet, prophet, sage, these are the makers of the after-world, the architects of heaven. The world is beautiful because they have lived; without them, laboring humanity would perish.

Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and right efforts inevitably bring about right results.

A noble deed is a dream before it is reality. The oak sleeps in the acorn; the bird waits in the egg; and in the highest vision of the soul, a beautiful world waits to be realized.

The circumstances which a man encounters with suffering are the result of his own mental inharmony.

Be not impatient in delay But wait as one who understands; When spirit rises and commands Then God is ready to obey.

The soul attracts that which it secretly harbours; that which it loves, and also that which it fears.

Whether you be man or woman you will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.

He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass: environment is but his looking glass.

Act is the blossom of thought; and joy and suffering are its fruits; thus does a man garner in the sweet and biter fruitage of his own husbandry.

Man is made or unmade by himself. In the armory of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself. He also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace.

By the right choice and true application of thought, man ascends to the Divine Perfection; by the abuse and wrong application of thought, he descends below the level of the beast. Between these two extremes are all the grades of character, and man is their maker and master.

Let a man radically alter his thoughts, and he will be astonished at the rapid transformation it will effect in the material conditions of his life.

Not what he wishes and prays for does a man get, but what he justly earns. His wishes and prayers are only gratified and answered when they harmonize with his thoughts and actions.

For true success ask yourself these four questions: Why? Why not? Why not me? Why not now?

Circumstances do not make the man, they reveal him.

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.

The man who thinks hateful thoughts brings hatred upon himself. The man who thinks loving thoughts is loved.
