Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.
Constantly regard the universe as one living being, having one substance and one soul; and observe how all things have reference to one perception, the perception of this one living being; and how all things act with one movement; and how all things are the cooperating causes of all things which exist.
Marcus Aurelius·171 ADThe soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.
James Allen·1903You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.
James Allen·1903All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts.
