“The outer world of circumstance shapes itself to the inner world of thought,”
― James Allen, As a Man Thinketh

“Thought is the fount of action, life, and manifestation; make the fountain pure, and all will be pure.”
― James Allen, As a Man Thinketh

“He who has conquered doubt and fear has conquered failure”
― James Allen, As a Man Thinketh

“Men imagine that thought can be kept secret, but it cannot; it rapidly crystallizes into habit, and habit solidifies into circumstance. Bestial thoughts crystallize into habits of drunkenness and sensuality, which solidify into circumstances of destitution and disease: impure thoughts of every kind crystallize into enervating and confusing habits, which solidify into distracting and adverse circumstances: thoughts of fear, doubt, and indecision crystallize into weak, unmanly, and irresolute habits, which solidify into circumstances of failure, indigence, and slavish dependence: lazy thoughts crystallize into habits of uncleanliness and dishonesty, which solidify into circumstances of foulness and beggary: hateful and condemnatory thoughts crystallize into habits of accusation and violence, which solidify into circumstances of injury and persecution: selfish thoughts of all kinds crystallize into habits of self-seeking, which solidify into circumstances more or less distressing.”
― James Allen, As a Man Thinketh
