"Every muscle should be relaxed and the mind withdrawn from all external things and given wholly to a receptive attitude, so that the Super Mind may come forth into manifestation and energize, illumine, and clarify the outer planes of conscious mind."
-- Charles F. Haanel
"They who can think far enough and deep enough into the undiscovered realms of knowledge and law as related to electricity and other ethereal forces will be the inventors and discoverers whose names will be written in the Hall of Fame. Such men must be free from fear; men unmoved and unswerved by ridicule and derision; men who keep their minds fixed and centered upon one great purpose. Such men press on and on, regardless of what others may think or say."
-- Charles F. Haanel
"Dare to be an explorer in the realm of thought. Dare to think deeply and radically, for the mind, like muscles, grows strong with use."
-- Charles F. Haanel
"And as the most powerful forces of Nature are the invisible forces, so we find that the most powerful forces of man are his invisible forces, his spiritual force, and the only way in which the spiritual forces can manifest is through the process of thinking. Thinking is the only activity that the spirit possesses, and thought is the only product of thinking."
-- Charles F. Haanel
"The ability to produce is found to be the real source of wealth of the individual. It is for this reason that he who has his heart in his work is certain to meet with unbounded success. He will give and continually give, and the more he gives the more he will receive. Thought is the energy by which the law of attraction is brought into operation, which eventually manifests in abundance in the lives of men."
-- Charles F. Haanel
"Hard thinking is mental mining and deep, penetrative thinking enables the thinker to convert gold in the mind into gold in the hand. Mental mining like gold mining requires concentration. To concentrate is to fix the attention on a common center; to centralize and intensify attention; to make the mind one-pointed. One hundred percent attention is concentration."
-- Charles F. Haanel
"The impossible is constantly being made possible because some one dared to believe that it was possible. The great inventions of the past were brought about by those who believed more than others could believe. Their faith stimulated action, study, thought, and effort. When faith is backed up by works, it brings forth fruit. This is the Universal Law."
-- Charles F. Haanel
"You get what you give. In giving much you receive more because the thoughts of others give you mental momentum and in this momentum, you are carried along with the power of the great Oversoul, which is the source of all power."
-- Charles F. Haanel
"You, yourself, are the architect of your fortune. When your real worth becomes so great and valuable as to make your services necessary, businessmen will seek you with tempting salaries. You can then name your own price—and you will get it. Be willing to invest money in mental tools. Do anything that will develop worth."
-- Charles F. Haanel
"Every building, great or small, was first a mental idea. From the idea-state, it grew into a mental picture. From the mental picture, it grew into a drafting, or drawing on a piece of paper. From the paper, it grew into material expression and form by the erection of a steel or wooden frame, followed with the exterior walls of wood, brick, stone, or cement."
-- Charles F. Haanel
"Visualize one thing until you attain that one thing. Then visualize a larger success until you have attained that. Then a still larger success, always keeping within the bounds of reason and always making allowance for the improbable or unforeseen emergency."
-- Charles F. Haanel
