James Allen Zitate

A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.

James Allen

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ein Mann muss lernen, dass er nicht Dinge befehlen kann, sondern dass er sich selbst befehlen kann; dass er den Willen anderer nicht zwingen kann, sondern dass er seinen eigenen Willen formen und beherrschen kann; und Dinge dienen dem, der der Wahrheit dient; Leute suchen Führung von dem, der Herr über sich selbst ist.

He is the richest man who enriches his country most; in whom the people feel richest and proudest; who gives himself with his money; who opens the doors of opportunity widest to those about him; who is ears to the deaf, eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame.

Englisches Zitat von Candace Bushnell als Bild

The fact that a man is open to being with an older woman suggests that he doesn't give a hang what other people think of him. More likely, he's confident, open-minded and willing to make his own rules.

God, great principle of all minor principles, God, who is Himself without a principle, could not conceive Himself, if, in order to do it, He required to know His own principle.
