Quote by Orison Swett Marden

We cannot rise higher than our thought of ourselves.

We cannot rise higher than our thought of ourselves.

Summary

This quote suggests that our personal growth and achievements are ultimately limited by the way we perceive ourselves. It implies that if we have a low opinion of our abilities and potential, we will struggle to reach higher levels of success and self-actualization. On the other hand, if we hold a positive and empowering belief about ourselves, we are more likely to unlock our full potential and achieve greater heights in various aspects of life. In essence, our self-perception sets the boundaries for what we can attain.

True there has been more talk of peace since 1945 than, I should think, at any other time in history. At least we hear more and read more about it because man's words, for good or ill, can now so easily reach the millions.

As you think so shall you be! Since you cannot physically experience another person, you can only experience them in your mind. Conclusion: All of the other people in your life are simply thoughts in your mind. Not physical beings to you, but thoughts. Your relationships are all in how you think about the other people of your life. Your experience of all those people is only in your mind. Your feelings about your lovers come from your thoughts. For example, they may in fact behave in ways that you find offensive. However, your relationship to them when they behave offensively is not determined by their behavior, it is determined only by how you choose to relate to that behavior. Their actions are theirs, you cannot own them, you cannot be them, you can only process them in your mind.

Family income has fallen by $4,000, but health insurance premiums are higher, food prices are higher, utility bills are higher, and gasoline prices have doubled. Today more Americans wake up in poverty than ever before.
