The world in which you live is not primarily determined by outward conditions and circumstances but by the thoughts that habitually occupy your mind.

You will soon break the bow if you keep it always stretched.

I firmly believe that when you die you will enter immediately into another life. They who have gone before us are alive in one form of life and we in another.

If you want a quality, act as if you already have it. If you want to be courageous, act as if you were - and as you act and persevere in acting, so you tend to become.
