More quotes by James Allen
The man who cannot endure to have his errors and shortcomings brought to the surface and made known, but tries to hide them, is unfit to walk the highway of truth.
James Allen
A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.
James Allen
The within is ceaselessly becoming the without. From the state of a man's heart doth proceed the conditions of his life his thoughts blossom into deeds, and his deeds bear the fruitage of character and destiny.
James Allen

James Allen
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
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
Thus meditating you will no longer strive to build yourself up in your prejudices, but, forgetting self, you will remember only that you are seeking the Truth.
James Allen
Circumstance does not make the man it reveals him to himself.
James Allen
In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result.
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.
James Allen
Happiness is mental harmony unhappiness is mental inharmony.
James Allen
Cease to be a disobedient child in the school of experience, and begin to learn, with humility and patience, the lessons that are set for your ultimate perfection.
James Allen
The body is the servant of the mind. It obeys the operations of the mind, whether they be deliberately chosen or automatically expressed.
James Allen
A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life.
