“All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts.”

“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.”

“A man can only rise, conquer, and achieve by lifting up his thoughts.”

“There can be no progress nor achievement without sacrifice, and a man's worldly success will be by the measure that he sacrifices his confused animal thoughts, and fixes his mind on the development of his plans, and the strengthening of his resolution and self-reliance.”

“A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.”

“The circumstances which a man encounters with suffering are the result of his own mental inharmony.”

“To Desire is to Obtain to Aspire is to Achieve”
