“All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts.”
“Control is never achieved when sought after directly; it is the surprising result of letting go.”
“A particular train of thought persisted in, be it good or bad, cannot fail to produce its results on the character and circumstances. A man cannot directly choose his circumstances, but he can choose his thoughts, and so indirectly, yet surely, shape his circumstances.”
“By the grace of reality and the nature of life, man–every man–is an end in himself, he exists for his own sake, and the achievement of his own happiness is his highest moral purpose”
“For a man to achieve all that is demanded of him, he must regard himself as greater than he is.”
“When others fail to celebrate you, celebrate your own achievements.”
