The will to do springs from the knowledge that we can do.
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
Man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild.
