Birds
|
|
The birds are moulting. If only man could moult also -- his mind once a year its errors, his heart once a year its useless passions.
-James Allen, A Kentucky Cardinal

Dreams
|
|
|
Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so you shall become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.
-James Allen

The greatest achievements were at first and for a time dreams. The oak sleeps in the acorn.

The vision that you glorify in your mind, the ideal that you enthrone in your heart - this you will build your life by, and this you will become.

Faith
|
|
|
Where faith is there is courage, there is fortitude, there is steadfastness and strength... Faith bestows that sublime courage that rises superior to the troubles and disappointments of life, that acknowledges no defeat except as a step to victory; that is strong to endure, patient to wait, and energetic to struggle... Light up, then, the lamp of faith in your heart... It will lead you safely through the mists of doubt and the black darkness of despair; along the narrow, thorny ways of sickness and sorrow, and over the treacherous places of temptation and uncertainty.
-James Allen

Fate & Destiny

|
Man is manacled only by himself; thought and action are the jailers of Fate.
-James Allen
|
|
Goals
|
|
|
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.

Intention
|
|
|
"Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and right efforts inevitably bring about right results."
-James Allen
|
|
Thought
|
|
|
You cannot escape the results of your thoughts. Whatever your present environment may be, you will fall, remain or rise with your thoughts, your vision, your ideal. You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as your dominant aspiration.
-James Allen, source: http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/j/james_lane_allen.html
