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
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

James Allen
Image
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.
