When the imagination and will power are in conflict, are antagonistic, it is always the imagination which wins, without any exception.

From our birth to our death we are all the slaves of suggestion.

We can make, to ourselves, very much stronger suggestions than anyone else can, whoever that person may be.

We can be, and should be, the masters of events, and not their playthings.

If you persuade yourself that you can do a certain thing, provided this thing be possible, you will do it, however difficult it may be. If, on the contrary, you imagine that you cannot do the simplest thing in the world, it is impossible for you to do it, and molehills become for you unscalable mountains.

Perhaps one day the dreams of Utopists may be realized and humanity will shake off the chains of materialism which still separate us from what we think to be supernatural knowledge, but which, in reality, is already in us, only waiting to be discerned.

It is the certainty that you are about to recover, that brings results, not the hope.
