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
No temptation can gravitate to a man unless there is that is his heart which is capable of responding to it.
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
Harmony is one phase of the law whose spiritual expression is love.
James Allen
The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom.
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
If you would perfect your body, guard your mind.
James Allen
All that you accomplish or fail to accomplish with your life is the direct result of your thoughts.
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
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
A person is limited only by the thoughts that he chooses.
James Allen
The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.
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
The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors that which it loves, and also that which it fears. It reaches the height of its cherished aspirations. It falls to the level of its unchastened desires - and circumstances are the means by which the soul receives its own.
James Allen
Happiness is mental harmony unhappiness is mental inharmony.
James Allen
Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.
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
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
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
