Nature gives all, without reservation, and loses nothing man or woman, grasping all, loses everything.
James Allen
Image
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
Image
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.

They who have conquered doubt and fear have conquered failure.
James Allen
Image
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
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.
James Allen
Image
A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.
James Allen
Image
If you would perfect your body, guard your mind.
James Allen
Image
Think lovingly, speak lovingly, act lovingly, and every need shall be supplied.
James Allen
Image
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
Image
Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bear bad fruit.
James Allen
Image
The man who thinks hateful thoughts brings hatred upon himself. The man who thinks loving thoughts is loved.
James Allen

Harmony is one phase of the law whose spiritual expression is love.
