Echoes

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

The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.

Man is what he believes.

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

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

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

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

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

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.

They can, because they think they can.

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

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.

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

Believe you can and you're halfway there.

The destiny of man is in his own soul.

Men are what their mothers made them.

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.

My life is my message.

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.

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

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

My experience is what I agree to attend to.

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