William James
  • Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

  • The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.

  • The sway of alcohol over mankind is unquestionably due to its power to stimulate the mystical faculties of human nature, usually crushed to earth by the cold facts and dry criticisms of the sober hour.

  • Success or failure depends more upon attitude than upon capacity successful men act as though they have accomplished or are enjoying something. Soon it becomes a reality. Act, look, feel successful, conduct yourself accordingly, and you will be amazed at the positive results.

  • Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power.
