    “A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts, so he loses touch with reality and lives in a world of illusions.” ~ Alan Watts, via Ego is the Enemy

      “Thoughts are vital, living things, little bundles of energy, if you will.  Most people don’t give any thought to the nature of their thoughts and yet, the quality of your thinking determines the quality of your life.  Thoughts are just as much a part of the material world as the lake you swim in or the street you walk on.  Weak minds lead to weak actions.  A strong, disciplined mind, which anyone can cultivate through daily practice, can achieve miracles.  If you want to live life to the fullest, care for your thoughts as you would your most prized possessions.  Work hard to remove all inner turbulence.  The rewards will be abundant.” ~ Robin S. Sharma, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

        “The price of greatness is responsibility over each of your thoughts.” ~ Winston Churchill

          “Thoughts disentangle themselves when they pass through the lips and fingertips.” ~ Dawson Trotman

            “I have lived a long life and had many troubles, most of which never happened.” ~ Mark Twain

              “As the fletcher whittles and makes straight his arrows, so the master directs his straying thoughts.” ~ The Buddha, via Awaken the Giant Within

                “Wonder, and its expression in poetry and the arts, are among the most important things which seem to distinguish men from other animals, and intelligent and sensitive people from morons.” ~ Alan Watts, The Book

                  Post(s) Inspired by this Book:

                    “There can be no progress, no achievement without sacrifice, and a man’s worldly success will be in the measure that he sacrifices his confused animal thoughts, and fixes his mind on the development of his plans, and the strengthening of his resolution and self-reliance.  And the higher he lifts his thoughts, the more manly, upright, and righteous he becomes, the greater will be his success, the more blessed and enduring will be his achievements.” ~ James Allen, As a Man Thinketh

                      “Good thoughts and actions can never produce bad results; bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results. This is but saying that nothing can come from corn but corn, nothing from nettles but nettles. Men understand this law in the natural world, and work with it; but few understand it in the mental and moral world (though its operation there is just as simple and undeviating), and they, therefore, do not cooperate with it.” ~ James Allen, As a Man Thinketh

                        “A man’s mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed-seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind.” ~ James Allen, As a Man Thinketh

                          “Man is made or unmade by himself; in the armory of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself; he also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace.” ~ James Allen, As a Man Thinketh

                            “As the plant springs from, and could not be without, the seed, so every act of a man springs from the hidden seeds of thought, and could not have appeared without them. This applies equally to those acts called ‘spontaneous’ and ‘unpremeditated’ as to those that are deliberately executed.” ~ James Allen, As a Man Thinketh
