As A Man Thinketh

Pure thoughts crystallize into habits of temperance and self-control, which solidify into circumstances of repose and peace.

The aphorism, As a man thinketh in his heart so is he, not only embraces the whole of a man’s being, but is so comprehensive as to reach out to every condition and circumstance of his life. A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.

Hateful and condemnatory thoughts crystallize into habits of accusation and violence, which solidify into circumstances of injury and persecution.
