James Allen
Image
When mental energy is allowed to follow the line of least resistance and to fall into easy channels, it is called weakness.
James Allen
Image
Suffering is always the effect of wrong thought in some direction. It is an indication that the individual is out of harmony with himself, with the Law of his being.
James Allen
Image
Self-control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power.
James Allen
Image
There can be no progress nor achievement without sacrifice, and a man's worldly success will be by the measure that he sacrifices his confused animal thoughts, and fixes his mind on the development of his plans, and the strengthening of his resolution and self-reliance.
James Allen
Image
The body is the servant of the mind. It obeys the operations of the mind, whether they be deliberately chosen or automatically expressed.
