More by James Allen
Act is the blossom of thought, and joy and suffering are its fruits.
As A Man Thinketh (1902)
Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you 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.
As A Man Thinketh (1902)
The heart that sins must sorrow.
The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn; the bird waits in the egg; and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.
As A Man Thinketh (1902)
Mind is the Master power that moulds and makes,
And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes
The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills,
Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills: —
He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass:
Environment is but his looking-glass.
As A Man Thinketh (1902)
Love and grief our hearts dividing,
With our tears His feet we bathe;
Constant still, in faith abiding,
Life deriving from His death.
Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)
The human will, that force unseen,
The offspring of a deathless soul,
Can hew the way to any goal,
Though walls of granite intervene.
As A Man Thinketh (1902)
Be not impatient in delays,
But wait, as one who understands.
When spirit rises and commands,
The gods are ready to obey.
