GETTING BACK ON TRACK

Power statements

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, strength and peace.  By the right choice, and true application of thought, man ascends to divine perfection. By the abuse and wrong application of thought, he descends below the level of the beast.

James Allen, As A Man Thinketh
