A man is literally what he thinks.
James Allen

For true success ask yourself these four questions: Why? Why not? Why not me? Why not now?
James Allen

A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.
James Allen

James Allen
