More quotes by James Allen
Circumstances do not make the man, they reveal him.
James Allen
It is a process of diverting one's scattered forces into one powerful channel.
James Allen
Spiritual meditation is the pathway to Divinity. It is a mystic ladder which reaches from earth to heaven, from error to Truth, from pain to peace.
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
Happiness is mental harmony unhappiness is mental inharmony.
James Allen
Harmony is one phase of the law whose spiritual expression is love.
James Allen
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
No temptation can gravitate to a man unless there is that is his heart which is capable of responding to it.
James Allen
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
The more intense the nature of a man, the more readily will he find meditation, and the more successfully will he practice it.
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
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
The man who cannot endure to have his errors and shortcomings brought to the surface and made known, but tries to hide them, is unfit to walk the highway of truth.
James Allen
Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.
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
In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result.
James Allen
All that you accomplish or fail to accomplish with your life is the direct result of your thoughts.
James Allen
A particular train of thought persisted in, be it good or bad, cannot fail to produce its results on the character and circumstances. A man cannot directly choose his circumstances, but he can choose his thoughts, and so indirectly, yet surely, shape his circumstances.
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
The within is ceaselessly becoming the without. From the state of a man's heart doth proceed the conditions of his life his thoughts blossom into deeds, and his deeds bear the fruitage of character and destiny.
James Allen
