Man's Reflection

Man is the picture of the reflection of his imagination;
he is as large or as small as he thinks himself.

Man is the picture or reflection of his imagination.
He is as large as he thinks himself,
as great as he thinks himself,
as small as he thinks himself to be.

If he thinks he is incapable, he remains incapable;
if he thinks himself foolish, he will be foolish and will remain foolish;
if he thinks himself wise, he will be wise and become wiser every moment;
if he thinks himself mighty, he will be mighty. . . .

Whatever is impressed on man's soul,
with that the soul becomes endowed,
and that the soul will become.
