“Question: Why are we Masters of our Fate, the captains of our souls? B...” — Alfred A. Montapert Quote

“Question: Why are we Masters of our Fate, the captains of our souls? Because we have the power to control our thoughts, our attitudes. That is why many people live in the withering negative world. That is why many people live in the Positive Faith world.”

“The world is divided into people who do things and people who get the credit.”

“To accomplish great things we must first dream, then visualize, then plan... believe... act!”

“In life, the first thing you must do is decide what you really want. Weigh the costs and the results. Are the results worthy of the costs? Then make up your mind completely and go after your goal with all your might.”

“Every person has free choice. Free to obey or disobey the Natural Laws. Your choice determines the consequences.”

“Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices.”

“When you assume negative intent, you're angry. If you take away that anger and assume positive intent, you will be amazed. Your emotional quotient goes up because you are no longer almost random in your response.”

“If you're really positive in life, everything else will fall into place.”

“In moments of difficulty there are positives you can take and lessons you can learn.”

“I think there is pressure on people to turn every negative into a positive, but we should be allowed to say, 'I went through something really strange and awful and it has altered me forever.'”

“There is only one thing for us to do, and that is to do our level best right where we are every day of our lives; To use our best judgment, and then to trust the rest to that Power which holds the forces of the universe in his hands.”

“I'm a big cockeyed optimist. I try to accentuate the positive as opposed to the negative.”
