“A man is what he thinks about all day long”

“We are what we think about all day long.”

“You become what you think about all day long.”

“Life consists of what man is thinking about all day.”

“Else if you would be a man speak what you think to-day in words as hard as cannon balls, and to-morrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day.”

“Treat a man as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he could be, and he will become what he should be.”

“Each man takes care that his neighbor shall not cheat him. But a day comes when he begins to care that he does not cheat his neighbor. Then all goes well - he has changed his market-cart into a chariot of the sun.”
