“Everything is I can’t instead of I can. I can’t really means I don’t want to. There is a feeling of hopelessness and helplessness. Expectation of the worst is quite likely to bring trouble, for it is in the form of negative suggestions and the subconscious may then cause behavior which will bring trouble.”  page 88

“With positive thinking his subconscious mind leads him to perform and behave so that he does the things necessary to succeed reasonably well and to enjoy good health.”  page 93

“Negative thinking has the opposite effect. The end result is unhappiness, worry, anxiety, frustration, and hostility. Conflicts produce these emotions and the negative thinker is more subject to emotional illness. He does not like to face reality. He fears to set goals because he anticipates failure, and he is not likely to be successful. His feelings of inferiority are like a ball and chain on his foot. His subconsciously controlled behavior will probably bring failure.”  page 94

“The real secret in thinking positively is belief. It is not easy to change the habit of negative thinking, but it can be accomplished. No one can think positively at all times, but it can be developed into a habit so that it is done most of the time. Such thinking is no magic wand to get us out of our difficulties instantly. Determination and patience are needed, with much practice of whatever techniques are used to produce positive thinking habits.”  page 94
