Book Report - As A Man Thinketh

As A Man Thinketh
- James Allen

As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he."

... mind is the master-weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance..."

Thought And Character

A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts."

Effect Of Thought On Circumstances

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."

Effect Of  Thought On Health And The Body

At the bidding of unlawful thoughts the body sinks rapidly into disease and decay; at the command of glad and beautiful thoughts it becomes clothed with youthfulness and beauty."

Thought And Purpose

A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts."

The Thought-Factor In Achievement

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

Visions And Ideals

He who cherishes a beautiful vision, a lofty ideal in his heart, will one day realize it."

Serenity

The calm man, having learned how to govern himself, knows how to adapt himself to others; and they, in turn, reverence his spiritual strength, and feel that they can learn of him and rely upon him."
