AS A MAN THINKETH JAMES ALLEN
346 all kinds crystallize into habits of grace and kindliness, which
347 solidify into genial and sunny circumstances: pure thoughts
348 crystallize into habits of temperance and self-control, which
349 solidify into circumstances of repose and peace: thoughts of
350 courage, self-reliance, and decision crystallize into manly
351 habits, which solidify into circumstances of success, plenty,
352 and freedom: energetic thoughts crystallize into habits of
353 cleanliness and industry, which solidify into circumstances of
354 pleasantness: gentle and forgiving thoughts crystallize into
355 habits of gentleness, which solidify into protective and
356 preservative circumstances: loving and unselfish thoughts
357 crystallize into habits of self-forgetfulness for others, which
358 solidify into circumstances of sure and abiding prosperity
359 and true riches.
360 A particular train of thought persisted in, be it good or bad,
361 cannot fail to produce its results on the character and
362 circumstances. A man cannot directly choose his
363 circumstances, but he can choose his thoughts, and so
364 indirectly, yet surely, shape his circumstances.
