“Better even than curing the body is to rise above it; to be its master, and not to be tyrannised over by it; not to abuse it, not to pander to it, never to put its claims before virtue; to discipline and moderate its pleasures, and not to be overcome by its pains - in a word, to live in the poise and strength of the moral powers, this, better than bodily cure, is a yet a safe way to cure, and it is a permanent source of mental vigour and spiritual repose. " -James Allen Man: King Of Mind, Body and Circumstance (1911)

He is fit to deal with any external difficulty, who has successfully grappled with the most intricate difficulties and problems within his own heart. He who has succeeded in governing the within is best equipped to govern the without. The calm mind perceives a difficulty in all its bearings and understands best how to meet it. The disturbed mind is the lost mind. It has become blind, seeing not whither to go, but only feeling its own unhappiness and fear. " -James Allen The Life Triumphant: Mastering The Heart and Mind (1908)

“THE Children of Light, who abide in the Kingdom of Heaven, see the universe, and all that it contains, as the manifestation of one Law — the Law of Love. They see Love as the moulding, sustaining, protecting, and perfecting Power immanent in all things animate and inanimate. To them Love is not merely and only a rule of life, it is the Law of Life, it is Life itself. Knowing this, they order their whole life in accordance with Love, not regarding their own personality." -James Allen All These Things Added (1902)


“Let your soul expand, let your heart reach out to others in loving and generous warmth, and great and lasting will be your joy, and all prosperity will come to you. Those who have wandered from the highway of righteousness guard themselves against competition; those who always pursue the right need not to trouble about such defense." -James Allen From Poverty to Power; or, the Realization of Prosperity and Peace (1901)


“There is no physician like cheerful thought for dissipating the ills of the body; there is no compforter to compare with goodwill for dispersing the shadoes of grief and sorrow. To live continually in thought of ill will, cynicism, suspicion, and envy, is to be confined in a self-made prison hole. But to think well of all, to be cherrful with all, to patiently learn to find the good in all--such unselfish thoughts are the very portals of heaven; and to dwell day by day in thoughts of peace toward every creature iwll bring abounding peace to their possessor." -James Allen As A Man Thinketh (1902)
