AS A MAN THINKETH JAMES ALLEN
365 Nature helps every man to the gratification of the thoughts
366 which he most encourages, and opportunities are presented
367 which will most speedily bring to the surface both the good
368 and evil thoughts.
369 Let a man cease from his sinful thoughts, and all the world
370 will soften toward him, and be ready to help him; let him put
371 away his weakly and sickly thoughts, and lo! opportunities
372 will spring up on every hand to aid his strong resolves; let him
373 encourage good thoughts, and no hard fate shall bind him
374 down to wretchedness and shame. The world is your
375 kaleidoscope, and the varying combinations of colors which
376 at every succeeding moment it presents to you are the
377 exquisitely adjusted pictures of your ever-moving thoughts.
378 You will be what you will to be;
379 Let failure find its false content
380 In that poor word, "environment,"
381 But spirit scorns it, and is free.
