When we put up with any situation we don’t have to put up with, it’s not because we’re dumb. We put up with it, because we want the lesson only that situation can teach, and we want it more than freedom myself.

With every decision that anyone makes, the world changes. The decision that we give our consent to is the one that remains in our consciousness, but the one that we didn't make-that alternate world goes on in its own direction. So there's uncountable numbers of alternate "us-es."

Character comes from following our highest sense of right, from trusting ideas without being sure they’ll work.

No matter how qualified you are, you won't reach a better life until you imagine it.

We [Americans] are game-playing, fun-loving creatures; we are the otters of the universe.

We magnetize into our lives whatever we hold in our thought.

One of the great cosmic laws, I think, is that whatever we hold in our thought will come true in our experience. When we hold something, anything, in our thought, then somehow coincidence leads us in the direction that we've been wishing to lead ourselves.
