“Man is buffeted by circumstances so long as he believes himself to be the creature of outside conditions.”

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

Only he whose thoughts are controlled and purified, makes the winds and the storms of the soul obey him.

A person is limited only by the thoughts that he chooses.

He that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

The outer world of circumstance shapes itself to the inner world of thought.

The truly self-possessed, however, are free from the whims of fate and chance. Calmly, they affect their will, and with strength of character and purity of intention, they attract to their person solely positive outcomes.

Circumstance does not make the man; it reveals him to himself.

To begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment.

Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts.

Mind is the master weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance.

The “divinity that shapes our ends” is in ourselves.

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.

Suffering is always the effect of wrong thought in some direction.

All evil is corrective and remedial and is therefore not permanent.

When a man makes his thoughts pure, he no longer desires impure food.

The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. The calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom.

Faith means believing the unbelievable.

You will only sacrifice when you passionately believe in the outcome.

There’s room for boys’ and girls’ football in the world-that’s what I believe.

I believe in getting into hot water; it keeps you clean.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.

I don’t call my people fans, I call them believers, because they go above and beyond.

Don’t become cynical. Don’t give up hope. Don’t believe that everything is judged only by expediency. There is idealism in this world. There is human brotherhood.

True beauty is knowing who you are and believing in yourself. Happy people know their purpose, have courage to fight for it and strength to keep going.
