"If I desire to be wealthy, I may not know how long it will take me to reach the conviction that I possess great wealth, but when I feel wealth is mine I have conceived. Conception is my end. The length of time between my desire and its conception depends entirely upon my inner conviction that it is done."

"You do not have to persuade others to help you; all you need do is believe you are what you want to be and then let the world - which is nothing more than yourself pushed out - go to work to make your assumption possible.
