Wisdom from Russell Conwell:

Your diamonds are not in far distant mountains or in yonder seas; they are in your own backyard, if you but dig for them.

You can journey to the ends of the earth in search of success, but if you’re lucky, you will discover happiness in your own backyard.

When a man has done all he can do, still there is a mighty, mysterious agency over which he needs influence to secure success. The one way he can reach it is by prayer.

Let every man or woman here remember this, that if you wish to be great at all, you must begin where you are and with what you are. He who would be great anywhere must first be great in his own Philadelphia.

Money is power. Every good man and woman ought to strive for power, to do good with it when obtained. I say, get rich, get rich!

I ask not for a larger garden, but for finer seeds.

Greatness really consists in doing some great deed with little means.

There is wealth within the sound of your voice.

Many of us spend our lives searching for success when it is usually so close that we can reach out and touch it.

So, if you feel a smile begin, don’t leave it undetected, let’s start an epidemic quick, and get the world infected!

Faith is a luminous star that leads the honest seeker into the mysteries of nature. You must seek your point of Gravity in God, and put your trust into an honest, divine, sincere, pure and strong faith and cling to it with your whole heart, soul, sense, and thought, full of love and confidence. If you possess such a faith, God (wisdom) will not withhold his truth from you, but will reveal his works to you, credibly, visibly, and consolingly. - Paracelsus

The operation of anything follows the mode of its being. - St. Thomas Aquinas (“Summa Theologica”)

I shall dwell in the House of God all the days of my life; to behold the beauty of God and to meditate in His sanctuary. - Psalms 27: 4

The human soul possesses from the fact of its being of the same essence of all creation, a marvelous power. One who possesses the secret is enabled to rise as high as his imagination will carry him; but he does that only on the condition of becoming closely united to this universal force. - J.B. Craven (on Cornelius Agrippa in “Doctor Robert Fludd, the English Rosicrucian”)

Every “substantial form” proceeds from the first cause, God, and participates in His divine nature according to its nobility. - Dante Alighieri (“Convivio”, Book 3, citing  "Liber de Causis" )

A potency without the possibility of actuality destroys nature. - Aristotle

Fourthly, out of the Element there proceeds forth a watery Property; and yet it is only to be understood spiritually : This is the Water of which Christ said he would give us to drink : And whosoever should drink thereof it should spring up in him to a Fountain of Eternal Life: It is the Water above the Firmament of which Moses speaks, that God has separated from the external Waters under the Firmament: This watery and elemental Property proceeds from the Essence of the Free Lubet, which is consumed in the Fire and the Word of the Understanding (which has now manifested itself in the Fire) does express these Powers from itself, as a living and moving Essence; and herein the Angelical World is understood. - Jacob Boehme (“Mysterium Magnum”)

I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power. Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ, and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. - Ephesians 3: 7-12

Only for you, children of doctrine and learning, have we written this work. Examine this book, ponder the meaning we have dispersed in various places and gathered again; what we have concealed in one place we have disclosed in another, that it may be understood by your wisdom. - Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa

The beginning of wisdom is the beginning of supernatural power. - Paracelsus

There is nothing more to controlling demons than to do good and fear nothing. - Eliphas Levi

True magic therefore is the high knowledge of the more subtle powers that have not yet been acknowledged by science up to this date because the methods of scrutiny that have been applied so far do not suffice for their grasping, understanding and utilization; although the laws of magic are analogous to all official sciences of the world. - Franz Bardon

Magic is real. And reality… it is magical. - Aleister Crowley

Within every man and woman is a force that directs and controls the entire course of life. Properly used, it can heal every affliction and ailment we may have. - Israel Regardie

Faith is a luminous star that leads the honest seeker into the mysteries of nature. You must seek your point of Gravity in God, and put your trust into an honest, divine, sincere, pure and strong faith and cling to it with your whole heart, soul, sense, and thought; full of love and confidence. If you possess such a faith, God (wisdom) will not withhold his truth from you, but will reveal his works to you, credibly, visibly, and consolingly. - Paracelsus

The mind has a definite way of clothing one’s thoughts in appropriate physical equivalents. Think in terms of poverty and you will live in poverty. Think in terms of opulence and you will attract opulence. Through the eternal law of harmonious attraction, one’s thoughts always clothe themselves in material things appropriate unto their nature. - Napoleon Hill

Man’s status in the natural world is determined by the quality of his thinking. - Manly P. Hall

A change of feeling is a change of destiny. - Neville Goddard

Thought is the property of those only who can entertain it. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Christ says, “If anyone asks you for your coat, give him your overcoat also.” A worldly man will say, “It is not practical; if someone asked this of me every day, I would be continually buying new coats!” Yet, at the same time, it is more than practical from the point of view of the Master, for according to his view we cannot give anything, in whatever form, without getting it back in some way or other. Pure thought, goodwill, our service, our time— whatever we give—is never lost. It comes back to us according to our willingness to give; it comes back to us a thousandfold. That is why one is never the loser by being generous; one only gains. The mystic sees the law in all things, and this gives him an insight into life. He begins to see why this misery has come upon him, why that pleasure has come; why one person is prospering and another not, why one is progressing and not the other. All these things become clear to him, because he sees the law working in all things. The law of the mystic is not the law of the people. It is the law of nature; it is the real law. - Hazrat Inayat Khan

We are magnets…We have keys to all doors. We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities… - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Here is the true secret of the Law of Attraction (by Bashar):

“You have a core vibrational frequency. It is purely uniquely you. It’s a beacon. It’s like a lighthouse. It shines. It radiates purely that signature frequency of your unique being. It never stops radiating that light, that frequency, that energy - never stops.

Everything that is in alignment with that frequency is doing its utmost to come to you.

Everything that is not aligned with that frequency is doing its utmost to get as far away from you as it possibly can.

If the things that are aligned with that beacon aren’t reaching you, it’s not because "you’re not vibrating at the resonance that you need to attract it”. It’s because your definitions and beliefs are holding it away.

If the things that are trying to get away from you can’t get away from you, it’s not because they’re not trying - it’s because you’re holding onto them.

So the true Secret of the Law of Attraction is not “how to learn to attract what you prefer”, it’s how to learn to let go of what you don’t, so that you can let in what is trying to get to you automatically - by definition.

That’s the true Secret and that’s why it’s effortless. It’s just about letting go and letting in. It’s not about having to learn to do something you’re not already doing.”

Wisdom from Emmet Fox:

Each day is a new life. Each moment is really a new life. What we call memories are really present thoughts. What we call anticipations are really present thoughts. No one has ever lived in any moment except the present.

What you think upon grows. Whatever you allow to occupy your mind you magnify in your life. Whether the subject of your thought be good or bad, the law works and the condition grows. Any subject that you keep out of your mind tends to diminish in your life, because what you do not use atrophies. The more you think of grievances, the more such trials you will continue to receive; the more you think of the good fortune you have had, the more good fortune will come to you.

There is no difficulty that enough LOVE will not conquer, no disease that enough LOVE will not heal, no door that enough LOVE will not open, no gulf that enough LOVE will not bridge, no wall that enough LOVE will not throw down, no sin that enough LOVE will not redeem.

God is bigger than any problem. God in you is greater than any difficulty you have to meet. God cares for you more than it is possible for any human being to realize. God can help you in proportion to the degree in which you worship him. You worship God by really putting your trust in him instead of in outer conditions, or in fear, or in depression, or in seeming dangers, and so forth. You worship God by recognizing his presence everywhere, in all people and conditions that you meet; and by praying regularly. You pray well when you pray with joy.

Whenever you are afraid of something you are worshipping it. Whatever you fear, you bow down to and give it power.

Attention is the key to life. Whatever you really give your attention to, you become. Whatever you really concentrate upon will come into your life. We grow into the thing that fills our thoughts as inevitably as the stream merges into the ocean at last.

The great difference between the two feelings is that love is always creative, and fear is always destructive.

The story of your life is really the story of the relations between yourself and God.
