Echoes

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

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

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

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.

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

Man is what he believes.

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

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.

Believe you can and you're halfway there.

They are never alone that are accompanied with noble thoughts.

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.

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

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

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

The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty.

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

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.

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

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

Meanings are not determined by situations, but we determine ourselves by the meanings we give to situations.

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

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

To different minds, the same world is a hell, and a heaven.
