Echoes

The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.

You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.

All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts.

A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.

A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

Men are disturbed, not by things, but by the principles and notions which they form concerning things.

They are never alone that are accompanied with noble thoughts.

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine — and shadows will fall behind you.

Believe you can and you're halfway there.

External things are not the problem. It's your assessment of them. Which you can erase right now.

They can, because they think they can.

I am more and more convinced that our happiness or unhappiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves.

If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. If we really know how to live, what better way to start the day than with a smile? Our smile affirms our awareness and determination to live in peace and joy. The source of a true smile is an awakened mind.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement; nothing can be done without hope.

Hatred and anger are the greatest poison to the happiness of a good mind.

Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.

Man is what he believes.

To the quiet mind all things are possible.

It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.

Henceforth I ask not good fortune — I myself am good fortune.

In a word, neither death, nor exile, nor pain, nor anything of this kind is the real cause of our doing or not doing any action, but our inward opinions and principles.

You need a change of soul rather than a change of climate.
