The circumstances which a man encounters with suffering are the result of his own mental inharmony.
James AllenAbove all be of single aim; have a legitimate and useful purpose, and devote yourself unreservedly to it.
James AllenA man only begins to be a man when he ceases to whine and revile, and commences to search for the hidden justice which regulates his life. And he adapts his mind to that regulating factor, he ceases to accuse others as the cause of his condition, and builds himself up in strong and noble thoughts; ceases to kick against circumstances, but begins to use them as aids to his more rapid progress, and as a means of the hidden powers and possibilities within himself.
