CHAPTER 6: IMAGINATION: The Workshop of the Mind (the Fifth Step To Riches)

- The DESIRE, is given shape, form, and ACTION through the aid of the imaginative faculty of the mind.

- Man can create anything which he can imagine.

- MAN’S ONLY LIMITATION, within reason, LIES IN HIS DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF HIS IMAGINATION.

- Desire is only a thought, an impulse. It is nebulous and ephemeral. It is abstract, and of no value, until it has been transformed into its physical counterpart.

- Put your plan to writing, if you have not already done so. The moment you complete this, you will have DEFINITELY given concrete form to the intangible DESIRE.

- The moment you reduce the statement of your desire, and a plan for its realization, to writing, you have actually TAKEN THE FIRST of a series of steps, which will enable you to convert the thought into its physical counterpart.

- Ideas are the beginning points of all fortunes. Ideas are products of the imagination.

- Thoughts are things, and their scope of operation is the world, itself.

- DEFINITENESS OF PURPOSE is the starting point from which one must begin.

- Definiteness of purpose takes on animation, life, and power when backed by a BURNING DESIRE to translate that purpose into its material equivalent.

- IDEAS CAN BE TRANSMUTED INTO CASH THROUGH THE POWER OF DEFINITE PURPOSE, PLUS DEFINITE PLANS.

- There is no standard price on ideas. The creator of ideas makes his own price, and, if he is smart, gets it.
