James Allen

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
Cease to be a disobedient child in the school of experience, and begin to learn, with humility and patience, the lessons that are set for your ultimate perfection.
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
Man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild.
James Allen
Nature gives all, without reservation, and loses nothing man or woman, grasping all, loses everything.
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
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 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.
