“Language shapes the way we think, and determines what we can think about.”

“What we love determines what we seek. What we seek determines what we think and do. What we think and do determines who we are — and who we will become.”

“What we see and hear is what we think about. What we think about is what we feel. What we feel influences our reactions. Reactions become habits and it is our habits that determine our destiny.”

“When we think about the present, we veer wildly between the belief in chance and the evidence in favour of determinism. When we think about the past, however, it seems obvious that everything happened in the way that it was intended.”

“What we think we lack determines what we will become in life.”

“We can get excited by thinking about what all we have or can have, OR we can get discouraged by thinking about what all we don't have.”
