“He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass: Environment is but his looking glass.”

Man’s mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild.

No man is hindered by another; he is only hindered by himself. No man suffers because of another; he suffers only because of himself.

Unrest and pain and sorrow are the shadows of life.

Self-control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power.

Aimlessness is a vice, and such drifting must not continue for him who would steer clear of catastrophe and destruction.

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

Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that the right thoughts and right efforts inevitably bring about the right results.

They who have no central purpose in their life fall easy prey to petty worries, fears, troubles, and self-pityings.

The dreamers are the saviors of the world.

The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good.

Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.

As a man thinketh in his heart, so shall he be.

He who has conquered doubt and fear has conquered failure.

Self-seeking is self-destruction.

If you would protect your body, guard your mind. If you would renew your body, beautify your mind. Thoughts of malice, envy, disappointment, despondency, rob the body of its health and grace.

What you are, so is your world.

Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws, which otherwise would have been hidden from us forever.

Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as a secret to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.

Everybody has a secret world inside of them. I mean everybody. All of the people in the whole world, I mean everybody – no matter how dull and boring they are on the outside.

Don’t call yourself a secret unless you mean to keep it.

The actions I take, reveal the secret I hide.

We can never, even by the strictest examination, get completely behind the secret springs of action.

For you will always gravitate toward that which you, secretly, most love.

The secret to your existence is right in front of you. It manifests itself as all those things you know you should do but are avoiding.
