The man who thinks hateful thoughts brings hatred upon himself. The man who thinks loving thoughts is loved.
James Allen
Image
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
Image
Circumstance does not make the man it reveals him to himself.
James Allen
Image
Think lovingly, speak lovingly, act lovingly, and every need shall be supplied.
James Allen

James Allen
Image
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

Man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild.
James Allen
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
As in the rankest soil the most beautiful flowers are grown, so in the dark soil of poverty the choicest flowers of humanity have developed and bloomed.
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
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
As he thinks, so he is as he continues to think, so he remains.
James Allen
Image
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
Image
A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.
James Allen
Image
Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bear bad fruit.
