"A man is literally what he thinks,..." - Quote by James Allen

“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. And he adapts his mind to that regulating factor, he ceases to accuse others as the cause of his condition, and builds himself up in strong and noble thoughts; ceases to kick against circumstances, but begins to use them as aids to his more rapid progress, and as a means of the hidden powers and possibilities within himself.”

“You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as you dominant aspiration.”

“As he thinks, so he is; as he continues to think, so he remains.”

“I went out to the hazelwood because a fire was in my head.”

“When you hate someone intensely, 80% of what you think is delusion.”

“The thinker without a paradox is like a lover without a feeling: a paltry mediocrity.”

“As the government is, such will be the man.”

“One thing about me is I try to be honest.”

“In war, character and opinion make more than half of the reality.”
