Echoes

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

They can, because they think they can.

Believe you can and you're halfway there.

The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.

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

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

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

Every man is the architect of his own fortune.

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

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

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

The best way to predict your future is to create it.

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

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

Man is what he believes.

You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

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

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

The destiny of man is in his own soul.

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.

Let him that would move the world first move himself.

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

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.

If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself, tell yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
