More quotes by James Allen
Man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild.
James Allen
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
Suffering is always the effect of wrong thought in some direction. It is an indication that the individual is out of harmony with himself, with the Law of his being.
James Allen
It is a process of diverting one's scattered forces into one powerful channel.
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
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
The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors that which it loves, and also that which it fears.
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
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
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
Self-control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power.
James Allen
The vision that you glorify in your mind, the Ideal that you enthrone in your heart - this you will build your life by, this you will become.
James Allen
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.
James Allen
Nature gives all, without reservation, and loses nothing man or woman, grasping all, loses everything.
James Allen
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
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
As he thinks, so he is as he continues to think, so he remains.
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
A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.
James Allen
A person is limited only by the thoughts that he chooses.
James Allen
