James Allen

James Allen

James Allen

James Allen
As the physically weak man can make himself strong by careful and patient training, so the man of weak thoughts can make them strong by exercising himself in right thinking.
James Allen
There can be no progress nor achievement without sacrifice, and a man's worldly success will be by the measure that he sacrifices his confused animal thoughts, and fixes his mind on the development of his plans, and the strengthening of his resolution and self-reliance.
James Allen
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

James Allen
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
Good thoughts and actions can never produce bad results bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results … We understand this law in the natural world, and work with it but few understand it in the mental and moral world—although its operation there is just as simple and undeviating— and they, therefore, do not cooperate with it.
James Allen
No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.
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
Do not dwell upon the sins and mistakes of yesterday so exclusively as to have no energy and mind left for living rightly today, and do not think that the sins of yesterday can prevent you from living purely today.
James Allen
When mental energy is allowed to follow the line of least resistance and to fall into easy channels, it is called weakness.
James Allen
All that you accomplish or fail to accomplish with your life is the direct result of your thoughts.
James Allen
No temptation can gravitate to a man unless there is that is his heart which is capable of responding to it.
James Allen
If you would perfect your body, guard your mind.
James Allen
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
