Thought

Thought is the one original cause 

of the conditions, characteristics and peculiarities

of the human personality,

and everything that appears in the personality

is the direct and indirect effect of the various actions of thought.

The thought you think not only affects 

your character, your mind and your body

but also produces the original cause

of every characteristic, every habit, every tendency,

every desire, every mental quality

and every physical condition that appears in your system.

Man is the reflection of all his thought;
that is, his body, his character, his mind, his spiritual nature -
all are fashioned according to his thought.

Every thought you think has an interior power.
This interior power is exactly like the thought itself as to nature and quality,
and it will express that nature and quality in the body.

What you give to your thought you give to your body,
and what you think in your thought you work into your body.

Most of our thoughts will become material in their nature
and will carry material conditions to every part of the system.

The elements that compose the flesh of his body are gross or fine
just as his thought happens to be.

Thought can do practically anything to the body or its conditions.

Thoughts have creative power.

The more feeling there is in your thought the greater its power.

What you deeply desire the power of thought to do,
the power of thought will do.

No one can rise higher than his thoughts.

Every thought is patterned after some impression.

Our thoughts are mental creations
patterned after the impressions that exist in consciousness.

Man naturally grows into the likeness of the thought he thinks.

Man gradually grows into the likeness of his predominating thought.

Our thoughts are created in the likeness
of those ideas that are uppermost in consciousness.

The power of thought is not a compelling force.

It is a building force.

The building capacity of thought is practically unlimited.

No thoughts should ever enter the mind
that do not contain in the ideal
the very things that we wish to attain or accomplish.

When every thought you think has the power to produce a definite effect
upon your body, our character or your mentality,
you can afford to think only thoughts that are wholesome and true.

We cannot afford to think a single thought
that is not the very soul of virtue.

Select your mental companions
from the world of truth only,
and enter only those domains of thought
that are illuminated with the full light of spirit.

Give all your thought to the great good
that is inherent in all things.

Let all your thoughts of the future
be wholesome, constructive, optimistic and ideal.

The power of every thought increases
as consciousness is expanded, elevated and refined.

The entire world of thought
must be perpetually renewed, enlarged and perfected,
and every step taken in the mental world
must be practically expressed and applied in the outer world.

The power of thought always is sufficiently strong
when we connect our minds with the Infinite
before we begin to think.

Unlimited power will be given to your thought
if you are in spiritual consciousness
while your thought is being created.

The thoughts we hold sacred have the greatest power.

To master thought is to master fate.

Great thoughts will invariably make a great man.
