AS A MAN THINKETH JAMES ALLEN
609 ascends; by the aid of animality, indolence, impurity,
610 corruption, and confusion of thought a man descends.
611 A man may rise to high success in the world, and even to lofty
612 altitudes in the spiritual realm, and again descend into
613 weakness and wretchedness by allowing arrogant, selfish,
614 and corrupt thoughts to take possession of him.
615 Victories attained by right thought can only be maintained by
616 watchfulness. Many give way when success is assured, and
617 rapidly fall back into failure.
618 All achievements, whether in the business, intellectual, or
619 spiritual world, are the result of definitely directed thought,
620 are governed by the same law and are of the same method;
621 the only difference lies in the object of attainment.
622 He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little; he who
623 would achieve much must sacrifice much; he who would
624 attain highly must sacrifice greatly.
