Every action and feeling is preceded by a thought.
James Allen
Image
Spiritual meditation is the pathway to Divinity. It is a mystic ladder which reaches from earth to heaven, from error to Truth, from pain to peace.
James Allen
Image
Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves they therefore remain bound.
James Allen
Image
They who have conquered doubt and fear have conquered failure.
James Allen
Image
No man is hindered by another he is only hindered by himself. No man suffers because of another he suffers only because of himself.
James Allen
Image
The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.
James Allen
Image
The man who thinks hateful thoughts brings hatred upon himself. The man who thinks loving thoughts is loved.
James Allen
Image
A man remains ignorant because he loves ignorance, and chooses ignorant thoughts a man becomes wise because he loves wisdom and chooses wise thoughts.
James Allen

They who have no central purpose in their life fall an easy prey to petty worries, fears, troubles, and self-pitying, all of which are indications of weakness, which lead, just as surely as deliberately planned sins (though by a different route), to failure, unhappiness, and loss, for weakness cannot persist in a power evolving universe.

Harmony is one phase of the law whose spiritual expression is love.
James Allen
Image
The law of harvest is to reap more than you sow. Sow an act, and you reap a habit. Sow a habit and you reap a character. Sow a character and you reap a destiny.
James Allen
Image
A person is limited only by the thoughts that he chooses.
James Allen
Image
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
James Allen
Image
The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors that which it loves, and also that which it fears.
James Allen
Image
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.
James Allen
Image
A particular train of thought persisted in, be it good or bad, cannot fail to produce its results on the character and circumstances. A man cannot directly choose his circumstances, but he can choose his thoughts, and so indirectly, yet surely, shape his circumstances.
James Allen
Image
The dreamers are the saviors of the world. As the visible world is sustained by the invisible, so men, through all their trials and sins and sordid vocations, are nourished by the beautiful visions of their solitary dreamers.
James Allen
Image
Circumstance does not make the man it reveals him to himself.
James Allen
Image
The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom.
James Allen
Image
Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.
