His character is the sum total of his habits. His habits have been formed by· his conscious acts; but every conscious act is, as we have found, preceded by a thought.

The great law of the drawing power of the mind, which says that like creates like, and that like attracts like, is continually working in every human life, for it is one of the great immutable laws of the universe.

There is character building not only for the young but for the old as well. And what a difference there is in elderly people! How many grow old gracefully, and how many grow old in ways of quite a different nature.

There is nothing more true in connection with human life than that we grow into the likeness of those things we contemplate.

In order to build character in anything, you need to first notice what you are struggling with.

Your every conscious act is preceded by a thought. Your dominating thoughts determine your dominating actions.
