As A Man Thinketh

"Mind is the Master power that moulds and
makes,

And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes

The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills,

Bring forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills:-

He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass:

Environment is but his looking-glass."

INTRODUCTION

This little volume (the result of meditation and experience is not intended
as an exhaustive treatise on the much-written-upon subject of the power
of thought. It is suggestive rather than explanatory, its object being
to stimulate men and women to the discovery and perception of the truth
that– "They themselves are makers of themselves" by virtue of
the thoughts which they choose and encourage; that mind is the master-weaver,
both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance,
and that, as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain they may
now weave in enlightenment and happiness.
