AS A MAN THINKETH JAMES ALLEN
575 adopt serious responsibilities. He is not fit to act
576 independently and stand alone. But he is limited only by the
577 thoughts which he chooses.
578 There can be no progress, no achievement without sacrifice,
579 and a man's worldly success will be in the measure that he
580 sacrifices his confused animal thoughts, and fixes his mind
581 on the development of his plans, and the strengthening of his
582 resolution and self reliance. And the higher he lifts his
583 thoughts, the more manly, upright, and righteous he
584 becomes, the greater will be his success, the more blessed and
585 enduring will be his achievements.
586 The universe does not favor the greedy, the dishonest, the
587 vicious, although on the mere surface it may sometimes
588 appear to do so; it helps the honest, the magnanimous, the
589 virtuous. All the great Teachers of the ages have declared this
590 in varying forms, and to prove and know it a man has but to
591 persist in making himself more and more virtuous by lifting
592 up his thoughts.
