I have just finished reading "As A Man Thinketh" by James Allen and really enjoyed it. some of the following are a few of the quotes that really stuck out to me.
"Until thought is linked with purpose there is no intelligent accomplishment."
"They who have no central purpose to their life fall an easy prey to petty worries, fears, troubles, and self-pityings, all of which are indications of weakness."
"loving and unselfish thoughts crystallize into habits of self-forgetfulness for others, which solidify into circumstances of sure and abiding prosperity and true riches."
"A man cannot directly choose his circumstances, but he can choose his tho
ughts, and so indirectly, yet surely, shape his circumstances."
"A man only begins to be a man when he ceases to whine and revile, and commences to search for
the hidden justice which regulates his life."
"During the process of putting himself right, man will find that ashe alters his thoughts towards things and other people, things and other people will alter towards him."
"Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves. they therefore remain bound. The man who does not shrink from self-crucifixion can never fail to accomplish the object upon which his heart is set."
"Circumstance does not makethe man;it reveals him to himself."
"Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are."
"A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts."
"Keep your hand firmly upon the helm of thought. In the barque of your soul reclines the commanding Master; He does but sleep; wake Him. Self-control is strength; Right Thought is mastery; Calmness is power. Say unto your heart, "Peace, be still!"
Pretty fun movie images to go with the book quotes! So, what thinketh you?
