I have wandered far, seen and done much, but I found no situation that could not be eased with the help of a simple but profound little book an uncle gave me when I was young. A great and good man. I never realized how great until he was gone.
As a Man Thinketh
(a literary essay)
James Allen
1902
Influenced by a verse in the Bible from the
Book of Proverbs, chapter 23, verse7,
short version:
"As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he."
