Robert Collier Quotes

Every condition, every experience of life is the result of our mental attitude. We can do only what we think we can do. We can be only what we think we can be. We can have only what we think we can have. What we do, what we are, what we have, all depend upon what we think. We can never express anything that we do not first have in mind.

You can do as much as you think you can,
But you'll never accomplish more;
If you're afraid of yourself, young man,

And you can win, though you face the worst,
If you feel that you're going to do it. — EDGAR A. GUEST.

A fire-mist and a planet,
A crystal and a cell,
A jellyfish and a saurian,
A cave where the cave men dwell;
Then a sense of law and order,
A face upturned from the clod;
Some call it Evolution, And others call it God." Reprinted from The New England Journal.
