You have been endowed with the power to use the most highly organized form of energy known to man, that of thought.

Your subconscious mind recognizes and acts only upon thoughts which have been well-mixed with emotion or feeling.

I realise the dominating thoughts of my mind will eventually reproduce themselves in outward, physical action and gradually transform themselves into physical reality. Therefore I will concentrate my thoughts for 30 minutes daily upon the task of thinking of the person I intend to become, thereby creating in my mind a clear mental picture of that person.

Everyone needs a change of mental environment at regular periods, the same as a change and variety of food are essential. The mind becomes more alert, more elastic and more ready to work with speed and accuracy after it has been bathed in new ideas, outside of one's own field of daily labor.

Disappointment over love affairs, generally has the effect of driving men to drink, and women to ruin; and this, because most people never learn the art of transmuting their strongest emotions into dreams of a constructive nature.

Turn on the full powers of your will and take complete control of your own mind. It is your own mind! It was given to you as a servant to carry out your desires. And no one may enter it or influence it in the slightest degree without your consent and cooperation. What a profound fact this is!

We are the masters of our fate, we are the captains of our soul, *because* we have the power to control our *thoughts*.

A mind dominated by positive emotions, becomes a favorable abode for the state of mind known as faith. A mind so dominated may, at will, give the subconscious mind instructions, which it will accept and act upon immediately.

If you know your own mind, you know enough to keep it always positive.

A philosophy a system of principles that will guide your thoughts and actions.

Whatever your present environment may be, you will fall, remain, or rise with your thoughts, your Vision, your Ideal.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox gave evidence of her understanding of the power of the subconscious mind when she wrote: You never can tell what a thought will do In bringing you hate or love-For thoughts are things, and their airy wings Are swifter than carrier doves. They follow the law of the universe-Each thing creates its kind, And they speed O'er the track to bring you back Whatever went out from your mind.
