The
Wisdom of James Allen is the second book in the Laurel Creek James
Allen Wisdom Series. It includes these three classic works from the
author of As a Man Thinketh:
"WE
CANNOT ALTER EXTERNAL THINGS,
nor shape other people to our liking, nor mold the world to our wishes.
But we can alter internal things—our desires, passions, thoughts—we
can shape our liking to other people, and we can mold the inner world
of our own mind in accordance with wisdom, and so reconcile it to the
outer world of men and things. The turmoil of the world we cannot avoid,
but the disturbances of the mind we can overcome. The duties and difficulties
of life claim our attention, but we can rise above all anxiety concerning
them. Surrounded by noise, we can yet have a quiet mind; involved in
responsibilities, the heart can be at rest; in the midst of strife,
we can know abiding peace."
