As a Man Thinketh

by James Allen

So You will be what you will to be;

Composer, sculptor, painter, poet, prophet, sage, these are the makers of the after-world, the architects of heaven.

Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the result of long and patient effort in self-control. Its presence is an indication of ripened experience, and of a more than ordinary knowledge of the laws and operations of thought.

The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good.
