You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.

Revenge-seeking minds destroy states, while those seeking reconciliation build nations.

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the now the primary focus of your life.

Paying attention to simple little things that most men neglect makes a few men rich.

Keep your attention focused entirely on what is truly your own concern, and be clear that what belongs to others is their business and none of yours.

Hold thought steadfastly to the enduring, the good, and the true, and you will bring these into your experience proportionately to their occupancy of your thoughts.

Keep your mind off the things you don’t want by keeping it on the things you do want.

The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious of the rose.

Words are a lens to focus one's mind.

As a rule, we find what we look for; we achieve what we get ready for.

Only in men's imagination does every truth find an effective and undeniable existence. Imagination, not invention, is the supreme master of art as of life.

A man, to carry on a successful business, must have imagination. He must see things as in a vision, a dream of the whole thing. A man can cultivate this faculty only by an appreciation for the finer things in life.

A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true.

Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively.

If you can imagine it you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.

Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is.

The heights by great men reached and kept Where not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night.

I can't imagine a person becoming a success who doesn’t give this game of life everything he’s got.

All the breaks you need in life wait within your imagination, imagination is the workshop of your mind, capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and wealth.

To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.
