Robert Collier Quotes

“A single idea – the sudden flash of a thought – may be worth a million dollars.”

“All of us have bad luck and good luck. The man who persists through the bad luck – who keeps right on going – is the man who is there when the good luck comes – and is ready to receive it.”

“All power is from within and therefore under our control.”

“All riches have their origin in mind. Wealth is in ideas – not money.”

“Be sure to visualize only what you want. The law works both ways. If you visualize your worries and your fears, you will make them real.

Control your thoughts and you will control circumstances. Conditions will be what you make them.”

“Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be. Your Ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.”

“Every condition, every experience of life is the result of our mental attitude. We can do only what we think we can do.

We can be only what we think we can be. We can have only what we think we can have. What we do, what we are, what we have, all depend upon what we think. We can never express anything that we do not first have in mind.

The secret of all power, all success, all riches, is in first thinking powerful thoughts, successful thoughts, thoughts of wealth, of supply. We must build them in our own mind first.”

“If you have any lack, if you are prey to poverty or disease, it is because you do not believe or do not understand the power that is yours.

“It is only through your conscious mind that you can reach the subconscious.

Your conscious mind is the porter at the door, the watchman at the gate. It is to the conscious mind that the subconscious looks for all its impressions.”

“Knowing that you have working with you a force, which never yet has failed in anything it has undertaken, you can go ahead in the confident knowledge that it will not fail in your case, either.”

“Mind is all that counts. You can be whatever you make up your mind to be.”

“Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one; and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.”

“Repeat to yourself, the first thing upon awakening in the morning and the last thing before going to sleep at night:

My body was made in the image and likeness of God. God first imagined it in its entirety, therefore every cell and bone and tissue is perfect, every organ and muscle performing its proper function.

That is the only model of me in Universal Mind. That is the only model of me that my Subconscious Mind knows.”

“See things as you would have them be instead of as they are.”

“See things that you want as already yours. Know that they will come to you at need.

Then let them come. Don't fret and worry about them. Don't think about your lack of them.

Think of them as yours, as belonging to you, as already in your possession.”

“Supply always comes on the heels of demand.”

“Take the first step, and your mind will mobilize all its forces to your aid. But the first essential is that you begin. Once the battle is started, all that is within and without you will come to your assistance.”

“The essence of this law is that you must think abundance; see abundance, feel abundance, believe abundance. Let no thought of limitation enter your mind.”

“The first principle of success is desire – knowing what you want. Desire is the planting of your seed. Very few persons, comparatively, know how to Desire with sufficient intensity.

They do not know what it is to feel and manifest that intense, eager, longing, craving, insistent, demanding, ravenous Desire which is akin to the persistent, insistent, ardent, overwhelming desire of the drowning man for a breath of air; of the shipwrecked or desert-lost man for a drink of water; of the famished man for bread and meat…”

“The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.”

“Think of things not as they are, but as they might be... Don't merely dream... but create.”

“Visualize this thing you want. See it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin to build.”

“We always place that little word "but" after our wishes and desires, feeling deep down that there are some things too good to be true.”

“You can do anything you think you can. For through it you can solve every human problem. It should make of you an incurable optimist. It is the open door.”

“You can do as much as you think you can,
But you'll never accomplish more;
If you're afraid of yourself, young man,
There's little for you in store.

For failure comes from the inside first,
It's there if we only knew it,
And you can win, though you face the worst,
If you feel that you're going to do it.”
