I looked around the world, and saw that it was shadowed by sorrow and scorched by the fierce fires of suffering. And I looked for the cause. I looked around, but could not find it. I looked in books, but could not find it. And I looked within, and found there both the cause and the self-made nature of that cause. And I looked again, and deeper, and found the remedy.
From Poverty to Power PDF – James Allen
I found one Law, the Law of Love. One Life, the Life of adjustment to that Law. One Truth, the Truth of a conquered mind and a quiet and obedient heart. And I dreamed of writing a book that should help men and women, whether rich or poor, learned or unlearned, worldly or unworldly, to find within themselves the source of all success, all happiness, all accomplishment, all truth. From Poverty to Power PDF
The dream remained with me, and at last became substantial; and now I send it forth into the world on its mission of healing and blessedness, knowing that it cannot fail to reach the hearts and homes of those waiting and ready to receive it.
UNREST, pain, and sorrow are the shadows of life. No heart in all the world has not felt the sting of pain, no mind has not been tossed upon the dark waters of trouble, no eye has not wept the hot, blinding tears of unspeakable anguish. There is no household where the Great Destroyers, disease and sorrow, have not entered, severing heart from heart, and casting over all the dark pall of gloom.

In the strong and apparently indestructible meshes of evil, all are more or less securely caught; and pain, unhappiness, and misfortune wait upon mankind. With the object of escaping or in some way mitigating this overshadowing gloom, men and women rush blindly into innumerable devices, upon pathways by which they fondly hope to enter into a happiness which will not pass away. From Poverty to Power PDF
Such are the drunkard and the harlot, who revel in sensual excitements; such is the exclusive æsthete, who shuts himself out from the sorrows of the world, and surrounds himself with enervating luxuries; such is he who thirsts for wealth or fame, and subordinates all things to the achievement of that object; and such are they who seek consolation in the performance of religious rites, rather than religious duties.
To all these, the happiness sought seems to come. Their souls, for a time, are lulled into a sweet security and an intuitive forgetfulness of the existence of evil. but the day of disease comes at last, or some great sorrow, temptation, or misfortune breaks suddenly in on the unfortified spirit, and the fabric of its fancied happiness is torn to shreds.

So over the head of every personal joy hangs the Damoclean sword of pain. Ready at any moment to fall and crush the soul of him who is unprotected by knowledge. The child cries to be a man or a woman. The man and the woman sigh for the lost felicity of childhood. From Poverty to Power PDF
The poor man chafes under the chains of poverty by which he is bound. And the rich man often lives in fear of poverty. Or scours the world in search of the elusive shadow he calls happiness. Sometimes the soul feels that it has found a secure peace and happiness in adopting a certain religion, in embracing a mental philosophy, or in building up an intellectual or artistic ideal.
But some overpowering temptation proves the religion to be inadequate or insufficient. The theoretical philosophy is found to be a useless prop, or in a moment, the idealistic statue upon which the devotee has for years been laboring is shattered into fragments at his feet.
