“What you are, so is your world.”

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.

As the reaper of his own harvest, man learns both of suffering and bliss

They themselves are makers of themselves.

Disease and health, like circumstances, are rooted in thought.

Into your hands will be placed the exact results of your own thoughts; you will receive that which you earn; no more, no less.

Men are anxious to improve their circumstances but are unwilling to improve themselves.

Until thought is linked with purpose there is no intelligent accomplishment.

Not what he wishes and prays for does a man get, but what he justly earns. His wishes and prayers are only gratified and answered when they harmonize with his thoughts and actions.

He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass: the environment is but a looking glass.

Whether you be a man or woman you will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.

Thoughts of malice, envy, disappointment, despondency, rob the body of its health and grace.
