A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.
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

The man who thinks hateful thoughts brings hatred upon himself. The man who thinks loving thoughts is loved.
James Allen
Image
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
