Orison Swett Marden Quotes

Desire creates its own object.

I've always loved those movies where somebody really wants something, and then the thing they want is right in front of them.

Plant the seed of desire in your mind and it forms a nucleus with power to attract to itself everything needed for its fulfillment.

… the truth in the power of the wish

I always believe that if you put it out there in the universe and you believe in it, you will stuff to happen.

I want everything that's possible that I've worked for to show up in my life and be mine.

You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however.

Dare to visualize a world in which your most treasured dreams have become true.

Faith is the substance of hope - of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. So if you can hope for it and imagine it, and keep imagining and hoping and seeing yourself driving a new car, or seeing yourself getting that job, or seeing yourself excel, seeing yourself help that person - that is faith.

Be careful what you set your heart upon - for it will surely be yours.

Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.

What we seek we shall find; what we flee from flees from us.

Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon... must inevitably come to pass!

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

See the things you want as already yours. Think of them as yours, as belonging to you, as already in your possession.

I have dreams, and I want to see them come to fruition.

What you want, wants you.

To wear dreams on one's feet is to begin to give a reality to one's dreams.

If you have everything, then you don't want to go on. It's the lacking that makes you search for something better.

I'm into the law of attraction and quantum physics. Like cosmic ordering. It's all about thinking lovely things that you would like in life, and feeling good about them before they manifest, so that by the time they do, you don't want them because you're on to your next desire.

My motto is: Contented with little, yet wishing for more.

A desire presupposes the possibility of action to achieve it; action presupposes a goal which is worth achieving.

True contentment depends not upon what we have; a tub was large enough for Diogenes, but a world was too little for Alexander.

To see far is one thing, going there is another.

The intensity of your desire governs the power with which the force is directed.
