"Happiness is mental harmony; unhappiness is mental..." - Quote by James Allen

“A man remains ignorant because he loves ignorance, and chooses ignorant thoughts; a man becomes wise because he loves wisdom and chooses wise thoughts.”

“A man can only rise, conquer, and achieve by lifting up his thoughts.”

“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.”

“I'm a much happier guy than a lot of people think I am.”

“If what was said in the Ethics is true, that the happy life is the life according to virtue lived without impediment, and that virtue is a mean, then the life which is in a mean, and in a mean attainable by every one, must be the best. And the same principles of virtue and vice are characteristic of cities and of constitutions; for the constitution is in a figure the life of the city.”

“We do not believe that in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few.”

“Stress is caused by being here but wanting to be there, or being in the present but wanting to be in the future. It's a split that tears you apart inside.”

“The energy or active exercise of the mind constitutes life.”

“Our minds are rendered buoyant by exercise.”
