Think lovingly, speak lovingly, act lovingly, and every need shall be supplied.
James Allen

James Allen
Image

James Allen
Image
As the physically weak man can make himself strong by careful and patient training, so the man of weak thoughts can make them strong by exercising himself in right thinking.
James Allen
Image
No temptation can gravitate to a man unless there is that is his heart which is capable of responding to it.
James Allen
Image
Circumstance does not make the man it reveals him to himself.
James Allen
Image
They who have conquered doubt and fear have conquered failure.
James Allen
Image
All that you accomplish or fail to accomplish with your life is the direct result of your thoughts.
James Allen
Image
A person is limited only by the thoughts that he chooses.
James Allen
Image
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
Image
Self-control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power.
James Allen
Image
Harmony is one phase of the law whose spiritual expression is love.
