Quotes from James Allen

The universe does not favour the greedy, the dishonest, the vicious, although on the mere surface it may sometimes appear to do so; it helps the honest, the magnanimous, the virtuous. All the great Teachers of the ages have declared this in varying forms

Be not impatient in delays But wait as one who understands; When spirit rises and commands The gods are ready to obey.

Wake Him. Self-control is strength; Right Thought is mastery; Calmness is power. Say unto your heart, "Peace, be still!

He ceases to argue about God who has found God within. Relying upon that calm strength which is not the strength of self, he lives God, manifesting in his daily life the Highest Goodness, which is Eternal Life.

Out of a clean heart comes a clean life and a clean body. Out of a defiled mind proceeds a defiled life and a corrupt body.

The body is a delicate and plastic instrument, which responds readily to the thoughts by which it is impressed, and habits of thought will produce their own effects, good or bad, upon it.

Purpose, energy, power to do, and all strong thoughts cease when doubt and fear creep in.

A man only begins to be a man when he ceases to whine...

Renew your resolution daily, and in the hour of temptation do not depart from the right path.

Men enslaved by self, passionate, proud, and condemnatory, believe their particular creed or religion to be the Truth, and all other religions to be error; and they proselytize with passionate ardor. There is but one religion, the religion of Truth. There is but one error, the error of self. Truth is not a formal belief; it is an unselfish, holy, and aspiring heart, and he who has Truth is at peace with all, and cherishes all with thoughts of love.

To live in thoughts of what you might have done, or in dreams of what you mean to do, this is folly: but to put away regret, to anchor anticipation, and to do and to work now, this is wisdom. Whilst a man is dwelling upon the past or future he is missing the present; he is forgetting to live now. All things are possible now, and only now.

Let a man notably adjust his mind, and he may be astonished at the rapid transformation it's going to impact within the fabric situations of his life. Men believe that idea may be kept mystery, however it can not; it hastily crystallizes into habit, and addiction solidifies into condition.
