All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts
James Allen
In all human affairs there are efforts and there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result
James Allen
For true success ask yourself these four questions: Why? Why not? Why not me? Why not now? .
James Allen
Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so you shall become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.
James Allen
You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.
James Allen
You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.
James Allen
Self is ingenious, crooked, and, governed by subtle and snaky desire, admits of endless turnings and qualifications, and the deluded worshippers of self vainly imagine that they can gratify every worldly desire, and at the same time possess the Truth
James Allen
Above all be of single aim; have a legitimate and useful purpose, and devote yourself unreservedly to it.
James Allen
You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration.
James Allen
Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and right efforts will inevitably bring about right results.
James Allen
A man is not rightly conditioned until he is a happy, healthy, and prosperous being; and happiness, health, and prosperity are the result of a harmonious adjustment of the inner with the outer of the man with his surroundings.
James Allen
The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn; the bird waits in the egg; and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.
James Allen
Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all, heavenly environment; of these, if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built.
James Allen
