Echoes

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.

The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.

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

My life is my message.

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

It is in your act that you exist, not in your body. Your act is yourself, and there is no other you.

Tell me what you eat, and I shall tell you what you are.

One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes. In stopping to think through the meaning of what I have learned, there is much that I believe intensely, much I am unsure of. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.

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

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

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.

They can, because they think they can.

The destiny of man is in his own soul.

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

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

My experience is what I agree to attend to.

Men are what their mothers made them.

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

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

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

The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.

It is not truth that makes man great, but man that makes truth great.

To find yourself, think for yourself.

As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.
