Truly, “thoughts are things,” and powerful things at that when they are mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a burning desire for their translation into riches.

Our brains become magnetized with the dominating thoughts which we hold in our minds and these magnets attract to us the forces, the people, the circumstances of life which harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts.

No one is ever defeated until defeat is accepted as a reality.

No one is ready for a thing until they believe they can acquire it.  Remember, no more effort is required to aim high in life, to demand abundance and prosperity, than is required to accept misery and poverty.

Through some strange and powerful principle of “mental chemistry” which she has never divulged, Nature wraps up in the impulse of strong desire, “that something” which recognizes no such word as “impossible,” and accepts no such reality as failure.

We are the masters of our fate, the captain of our souls, because we have the ability to control our thoughts.

Man’s only limitation, within reason, lies in his development and use of his imagination.

When you begin with the thought impulse, desire, you are drafting into your service the same “stuff” that nature used in creating this earth and every material form in the universe.

Write down what you desire.  It is at that moment that you have given concrete form to an intangible desire.

Read aloud twice daily the written statement of your desire and see and feel yourself already in possession of what you desire.  By following these instructions you communicate the object of your desire directly to your subconscious in a spirit of absolute faith.

All thoughts which have been emotionalized (given feeling) and mixed with faith begin IMMEDIATELY to translate themselves into their physical equivalent or counterpart.

Faith is a state of mind which may be induced, or created, by affirmation or repeated instruction to the subconscious mind, through the principle of autosuggestion.

Persistence backed by a single desire is destined to mow down all opposition and bring the opportunity you are seeking.

One sound idea is all one needs to achieve success.
