Thought allied fearlessly to purpose becomes creative force: he who knows this is ready to become something higher and stronger than a mere bundle of wavering thoughts and fluctuating sensations; he who does this has become the conscious and intelligent wielder of his mental powers.
思想无畏地与目标结合,便成为创造的力量:懂得这一点的人,已准备好超越摇摆的念头与起伏的感受,变得更高远、更坚强;践行这一点的人,已能自觉而明智地运用自己的心智力量。
— James Allen · As a Man Thinketh (1903) · Thought and Purpose —
