I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves — such an ethical basis I call more proper for a herd of swine.
~ in The World As I See It
Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
~ in The World As I See It
God does not play dice.
If I had only known, I would have been a locksmith.
In the middle of every difficulty comes opportunity.
Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.
Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.
There are two ways to look at life. One is that nothing is a miracle, and the other is that everything is a miracle.
Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value.
When the solution is simple, God is answering.

~ James Allen, in As A Man Thinketh
- If you find yourself stuck in traffic; Don’t despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.
- Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years.
- Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it’s like to love and be loved in return.
- Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.
- Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.
- Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.
- Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn’t live long enough to get the opportunity.
- Should you find yourself the victim of other people’s bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them!
