William James

Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.

Why should we think upon things that are lovely? Because thinking determines life. It is a common habit to blame life upon the environment. Environment modifies life but does not govern life. The soul is stronger than its surroundings.

A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and life is after all a chain.

This life is worth living, we can say, since it is what we make it.

The greatest use of a life is to spend it on something that will outlast it.

Belief creates the actual fact.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.
