Quote

A noble and God-like character is not a thing of favor or chance, but is the natural result of continued effort in right thinking, the effect of long-cherished association with God-like thoughts.

More quotes by James Allen

Image
The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors that which it loves, and also that which it fears. It reaches the height of its cherished aspirations. It falls to the level of its unchastened desires - and circumstances are the means by which the soul receives its own.
James Allen
Image
Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.
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
The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors that which it loves, and also that which it fears.
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.
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
A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.
James Allen
Image
Man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild.
James Allen
Image
Man is made or unmade by himself. By the right choice he ascends. As a being of power, intelligence, and love, and the lord of his own thoughts, he holds the key to every situation.
James Allen
Image
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
Image
Every action and feeling is preceded by a thought.
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 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
All that you accomplish or fail to accomplish with your life is the direct result of your thoughts.
James Allen
Image
A man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind.
James Allen
Image
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
Image
The will to do springs from the knowledge that we can do.
James Allen
Image
Man is buffeted by circumstances so long as he believes himself to be the creature of outside conditions, but when he realizes that he is a creative power, and that he may command the hidden soil and seeds of his being out of which circumstances grow, he then becomes the rightful master of himself.
James Allen
Image
A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life.
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.
