  • You may think that you are well, but you will not secure health until you think thoughts that produce health. You may persistently affirm that you are well, but so long as you live in discord, confusion, worry, fear and other wrong states of mind, you will be sick; that is, you will be as you think and not what you think you are. You may state health in your thought, but if you give worry, fear and discord to that thought, your thinking will produce discord. It is not what we state in our thoughts, but what we give to our thoughts that determine results.

  • It is just as necessary to forgive ourselves as it is to forgive others, and the principal reason why forgiveness seemed so difficult is because we have neglected to forgive ourselves.

  • When anyone is going wrong, it is a mistake to warn him not to go further. It is also a mistake to leave him alone. The proper course is to call his attention to something better, and frame our conversation in such a way that he becomes wholly absorbed in the better. He will then forget his old mistakes, his old faults and his old desires, and will give all his life and power to the building of that better which has engaged his new interest.

    Mistake   Giving   Desire  
    Christian D. Larson (2012). “The Optimist Creed”, p.393, Penguin
  • PROMISE YOURSELF To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.

    "Your Forces and How to Use Them".
  • What we love in others we not only awaken in others, but we develop those very things more or less in ourselves.

    Christian D. Larson (2012). “The Optimist Creed”, p.304, Penguin
  • Whenever you permit yourself to think what persons, things, conditions, or circumstances may suggest, you are not following what you want to think. You are not following your own desires but borrowed desires. Use your imagination in determining what you want to think or do.

    Christian D. Larson (2009). “Your Forces and How to Use Them”, p.285, The Floating Press
  • Do not turn the power of your mind upon others, but turn it upon yourself in such a way that it will make you stronger, more positive, more capable, and more efficient, and as you develop in this manner, success must come of itself. There is only one way by which you can influence others legitimately, and that is through the giving of instruction, but in that case, there is no desire to influence. You desire simply to impart knowledge and information, and you exercise a most desirable influence without desiring to do so.

    Exercise   Giving   Mind  
    Christian D. Larson (2012). “The Optimist Creed”, p.256, Penguin
  • The more grateful you are for everything good that comes into your life, the more closely you place your mind in contact with that power in life that can produce greater good.

    Grateful   Mind   Produce

  • What you admire in others will develop in yourself. Therefore, to love the ordinary in any one is to become ordinary, while to love the noble and the lofty in all minds is to grow into the likeness of that which is noble and lofty.

    Mind   Ordinary   Noble  
    Christian D. Larson (2012). “The Optimist Creed”, p.303, Penguin
  • Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.

  • The master mind is the mind that thinks what it wants to think, regardless of what circumstances, environment or associations may suggest.

    Thinking   Mind   May  
    Christian D. Larson (2009). “Your Forces and How to Use Them”, p.279, The Floating Press
  • Never try to compel others to change; leave them free to change naturally and orderly because they want to; and they will want to when they find that your change was worthwhile. To inspire in others a desire to chance for the better is truly noble; but this you can do only by leaving them alone, and becoming more noble yourself.

  • That person who declares that there is always something wrong is always doing something to make things wrong.

    Persons  
    Christian D. Larson (2009). “Your Forces and How to Use Them”, p.264, The Floating Press

    Christian D. Larson (2012). “The Optimist Creed”, p.397, Penguin
  • A man who is morally clean, other things being equal, has in every instance, greater agility, greater capacity, and greater endurance by far than the man who is not. While the latter is wasting his creative energies in useless pleasures, as well as in disease producing habits, the former is turning all of his creative energy into ability and genius, and the result is evident.

  • True achievement in any sphere of action depends upon real ability, and a strong, deep, whole-souled love.

  • Be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

    Christian D. Larson (2009). “Your Forces and How to Use Them”, p.10, The Floating Press

Think only of the best, work only for the best. Forget the mistakes of the past & press on the greater achievements of the future. Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to critize others. Live in the faith that the whole world is on your side as long as you are true to the best that is in you.

  • Our success will not come from the acts of our forefathers, but can come alone from what we are doing now. Those who have inherited rich blood can use that richness in building greatness in themselves, but those who have not the privilege of such inheritance need not be discouraged. They can create their own rich blood and make it as rich as they like.

    Greatness   Blood   Needs  
  • Be too big for worry and too noble for anger.

  • Use the imagination to picture only what is good, what is beautiful, what is beneficial, what is ideal, and what you wish to realize. Mentally see yourself receiving what you deeply desire to receive. What you imagine, you will think, and what you think, you will become. Therefore, if you imagine only those things that are in harmony with what you wish to obtain or achieve, all your thinking will soon tend to produce what you want to attain or achieve.

  • We are here to become great men and women, and with that purpose in view, we must eliminate everything in our religion and philosophy that tends to make the human mind a dependent weakling. If you would serve God and be truly religious, do not kneel before God, but learn to walk with God, and do something tangible every day to increase the happiness of mankind. This is religion that is worth while, and it is such religion alone that can please the Infinite.

    Christian D. Larson (2012). “The Optimist Creed”, p.339, Penguin
  • Nature intends all men and women to be mental and spiritual giants, and does not intend that any one should follow the will of another.

    Spiritual   Men   Giants  
    Christian D. Larson (2007). “Your Forces and How to Use Them”, p.177, Cosimo, Inc.
  • The average mind requires a change of environment before he can change his thought. He has to go somewhere or bring into his presence something that will suggest a new line of thinking and feeling. The master mind, however, can change his thought whenever he so desires. A change of scene is not necessary, because such a mind is not controlled from without. A change of scene will not produce a change of thought in the master mind unless he so elects.

    "The Optimist Creed".
  • The more you think of harmony, of health, of success, of happiness, of things that are desirable, of things that are beautiful, of things that have true worth, the more the mind will tend to build all those things in yourself, provided, of course, that all such thinking is subjective.

    Christian D. Larson (2012). “The Optimist Creed”, p.283, Penguin
  • Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

    Christian D. Larson (2009). “Your Forces and How to Use Them”, p.10, The Floating Press
  • When you see evil do not form ideas that are in the likeness of that evil; do not think of the evil as bad, but try to understand the forces that are back of that evil—forces that are good in themselves, though misdirected in their present state. By trying to understand the nature of the power that is back of evil or adversity, you will not form bad ideas, and therefore will feel no bad effects from experiences that may seem undesirable. At the same time, you will think your own thought about the experiences, thereby developing the power of the master mind.

    Christian D. Larson (2009). “Your Forces and How to Use Them”, p.284, The Floating Press
  • Our destiny is not mapped out for us by some exterior power; we map it out for ourselves. What we think and do in the present determines what shall happen to us in the future.

    Destiny   Thinking   Maps
