Category: James Allen Quotes

Circumstance does not make the man; it reveals him to himself.

As the reaper of his own harvest, man learns both by suffering and bliss.

Every thought-seed sown or allowed to fall into the mind, and to take root there, produces its own, blossoming sooner or later into act.

The soul attracts that which it secretly harbours; that which it loves.

Thought and character are one, and as character can only manifest and discover itself through environment and circumstance, the outer conditions of a person’s life will always be found to be harmoniously related to his inner state.

A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life.

A noble and Godlike character is not a thing of favour or chance, but is the natural result of continued effort in right thinking, the effect of long-cherished association with Godlike thoughts. An ignoble and bestial character, by the same process, is the result of the continued harbouring of grovelling thoughts. ~ James Allen
