The Advancing Man Gets Into The Right Business
Doing what you want to do is life; and there is no real satisfaction in living if we are compelled to be forever doing something which we do not like to do, and can never do what we want to do. And it is certain that you can do what you want to do; the desire to do it is proof that you have within you the power which can do it.
Acting In The Certain Way & Efficient Action
It is at this point that the people fail who separate mental power from personal action. They use the power of mind in one place and at one time, and they act in another place and at another time. So their acts are not successful in themselves; too many of them are inefficient.
Wattles On The Will
When you know what to think and do, then you must use your will to compel yourself to think and do the right things. That is the legitimate use of the will in getting what you want—to use it in holding yourself to the right course. Use your will to keep yourself thinking and acting in the Certain Way.
Thinking In The Certain Way
You must form a clear and definite mental picture of what you want; you cannot transmit an idea unless you have it yourself.
Wattles On Gratitude
Gratitude alone can keep you looking toward the All, and prevent you from falling into the error of thinking of the supply as limited; and to do that would be fatal to your hopes.
How Riches Come To You
Give every man more in use value than you take from him in cash value; then you are adding to the life of the world by every business transaction.
The Expansion of Wealth
You must rise entirely out of the competitive thought. You must never think for a moment that the supply is limited.
The First Principle in the Science of Getting Rich
I have said that men get rich by doing things in a Certain Way; and in order to do so, men must become able to think in a certain way.
Is Opportunity Monopolized?
No one is kept in poverty by a shortness in the supply of riches; there is more than enough for all.
There is a Science of Getting Rich
The ownership of money and property comes as a result of doing things in a certain way; those who do things in this Certain Way, whether on purpose or accidentally, get rich; while those who do not do things in this Certain Way, no matter how hard they work or how able they are, remain poor.
The Right To Be Rich
No man can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money; for to unfold the soul and to develop talent he must have many things to use, and he cannot have these things unless he has money to buy them with.
Eugen Sandow’s Show in 1897
Taking a pack of ordinary playing cards I tear them first in half, then in four parts, and finally into eighths. Next I tear two packs, and finally three packs, each pack containing the ordinary number of fifty-two cards. The feat of tearing in half one pack of cards was originally shown to me by the late Emperor of Russia.

Living Weights & Training Sailors
For my part I was determined to introduce a novelty. Henceforth, there should be actually living weights.
Creating Goliath & Making Friends
Imagine, if you can, this tremendous fellow: his head as huge and grotesque as that of any pantomime mask, with a nose the size of an ordinary fist. As for his own fist, it would have made more than three of mine, and when a five-shilling piece was placed beneath the ball of his finger, believe me, it was impossible to see it.
How Sandow Beat Samson
I learned that Samson was offering, at the Royal Aquarium in London, £100 to the person who could perform the feats of his pupil, Cyclops, and £1,000 to anyone who could beat his own…
The Magic Cold Bath
In advising cold baths, I speak, of course, for persons in the enjoyment of ordinary health.
Sandow On How To Exercise
The body, in fact, like a child, wants to be educated, & only through a series of exercises can this education be given.
The Reward Is In The Struggle
Your reward lies not so much in the accomplishment as in the effort and struggle, and all the good qualities which they bring out.
