For James Allen our thoughts are the seed of what will happen to us in life, so the power of thought can bring prosperity and happiness to our lives.
This power can be trained, and like a garden, it can be cultivated and worked to lead us to a full and happy life.
Mind is the Master power that moulds and makes,
And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes
The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills,
Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills:
He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass:
Environment is but his looking-glass.

The best As a Man Thinketh quotes
Man is made or unmade by himself; in the armoury 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.
Only the wise man, only he whose thoughts are controlled and purified, makes the winds and the storms of the soul obey him.
