When I'm get­ting ready to per­suade a per­son, I spend one-third of the time think­ing about myself, what I'm going to say, and two-thirds of the time think­ing about him and what he is going to say. -Abra­ham Lincoln Always think of what you have to do as easy and it will be.

Patience and perseverance are necessary in autosuggestion, as well as in everything else.

It is we ourselves who alone shall shape our destinies, rising always above the external circumstances and conditions which from time to time shall be thrown across our paths.

Perhaps one day the dreams of Utopists may be realized and humanity will shake off the chains of materialism which still separate us from what we think to be supernatural knowledge, but which, in reality, is already in us, only waiting to be discerned.

Even evil and evil-doing can be overcome by suggestion.

Day by day, in every way, I am getting better and better

Always think that what you have to do is easy and it will become so.

If you persuade yourself that you can do a certain thing, provided this thing be possible, you will do it, however difficult it may be. If, on the contrary, you imagine that you cannot do the simplest thing in the world, it is impossible for you to do it, and molehills become for you unscalable mountains.

It's not the number of years that makes you old, but the idea that you are getting old.

It is the certainty that you are about to recover, that brings results, not the hope.

Conscious auto-suggestion, made with confidence, faith, and perseverance realizes itself automatically, in all matters within reason.

When you believe yourself to be master of your thoughts, you become so.

Rich is he who thinks he is rich and poor is he who thinks he is poor.
