The outer conditions of a person's life will always be found to be harmoniously related to his inner state...Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.

Fixedness of purpose is the root of all successful efforts.

They who have conquered doubt and fear have conquered failure.

Nature gives all, without reservation, and loses nothing; man or woman, grasping all, loses everything.

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 noble and God-like character is not a thing of favor or chance, but is the natural result of continued effort in right thinking, the effect of long-cherished association with God-like thoughts.

The key to happiness is having dreams; the key to success is making them come true.
