James Allen

died 1912

James Allen was a British philosophical writer and poet, best known for his inspirational writings and self-help books. His most famous work, "As a Man Thinketh," has been widely acclaimed for its teachings on the power of thought and the connection between our thoughts and our circumstances.

  1. A particular train of thought persisted in, be it good or bad, cannot fail to produce its results on the character and circumstances. A man cannot directly choose his circumstances, but he can choose his thoughts, and so indirectly, yet surely, shape his circumstances.
