Believe me, you can have anything you want—and in abundance-when you learn to tune into the power within, an infinitely greater power than electricity, a power you have had from the beginning.
—Roger McDonald (b.1941) Australian Novelist, Poet, Screenwriter, Writer
Life in abundance comes only through great love.

Impeccability of the word can lead you to personal freedom, to huge success and abundance; it can take away all fear and transform it into joy and love.
—Miguel Angel Ruiz (b.1952) Mexican Spiritualist Author
If it feels like discouragement, fear, uneasiness, frustration, if it feels like anger—that’s what it means. That scarcity feeling has all those feelings wrapped through it. They are all indicators of some resistance within you. What those feelings are actually saying is, “Ah, as I’m feeling this thing that I’m calling scarcity, I’m a vibrational mismatch to the abundance that I want. I want abundance, but I’m not vibrating there. So as I reach for the thought that feels better, reach for the thought that feels better… so that those negative emotions subside, now I’m no longer resisting. I’m allowing. I’ve lined up the Energy within me.”
—Esther & Jerry Hicks (b.1948) American Self-Help Author
You can never get enough of what you don’t want.

He who is plenteously provided for from within needs but little from without.
—Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) German Poet
We already have so much abundance. We truly do. We need not search too far. It is within. The reason we fail to recognize this is because we haven’t quite mastered the art of being. For abundance to prevail, we must have love, gratitude, acceptance and compassion.
—John Welwood (1943–2019) American East-West Psychologist
To write a good love letter you ought to begin without knowing what you mean to say, and to finish without knowing what you have written.
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–78) Swiss-born French Philosopher
And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?.
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
—The Holy Bible Scripture in the Christian Faith
To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one’s own in the midst of abundance.
—Buddhist Teaching
Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend…when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that’s present—love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure—the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on earth.
—Sarah Ban Breathnach (b.1947) American Self-help Author
Advertising is an environmental striptease for a world of abundance.

Unfortunately, the balance of nature decrees that a super-abundance of dreams is paid for by a growing potential for nightmares.
—Peter Ustinov (1921–2004) British Actor, Playwright, Director
The sage never tries to store things up. The more he does for others, the more he has. The more he gives to others, the greater his abundance.
—Laozi (fl.6th Century BCE) Chinese Philosopher, Sage
Piling up zeros in your bank account, or cars in your driveway, won’t in and of itself make you successful. Rather, true success is based on a constant flow of giving and recieving. In fact, if you look up affluence in the dictionary, you’ll see its root is a Latin phrase meaning “to flow with abundance”. So in order to be truly affluent, you must always let what you have recieved flow back into the world.
—Russell Simmons (b.1957) American Music Promoter
We plant seeds that will flower as results in our lives, so best to remove the weeds of anger, avarice, envy, and doubt, that peace and abundance may manifest for all.
—Dorothy Day (1897–1980) American Journalist, Christian Activist
When you accustom people to believe that priests and clergy can forgive sins… you will have sins in abundance

The goal of truly rich people is to have massive wealth and abundance.

Talent is always conscious of its own abundance, and does not object to sharing.
—Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918–2008) Russian Dissident Novelist
People with a scarcity mentality tend to see everything in terms of win-lose. There is only so much; and if someone else has it, that means there will be less for me. The more principle-centered we become, the more we develop an abundance mentality, the more we re genuinely happy for the successes, well-being, achievements, recognition, and good fortune of other people. We believe their success adds to…rather than detracts from…our lives.
—Stephen Covey (1932–2012) American Self-help Author
The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945) American Head of State, Lawyer
It is not the want, but rather abundance that creates avarice.
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–92) French Essayist
Your economy has always been about the exchange of human energy: As contrast produces a new idea within any human consciousness, the Nonphysical Energy to supply it flows forth. The economy expands proportionate to the idea. There is no shortage of anything. Those who believe there is shortage, hold themselves over in this place where they disallow the Energy from flowing to them. And so, in their resistance, they have it not. And then they say, “I am proof that there is shortage. And that man over there that is awash in money is the reason I don’t have any.” He has nothing to do with your shortage. He is evidence that there is an abundance.
—Esther & Jerry Hicks (b.1948) American Self-Help Author
The harvest of old age is the recollection and abundance of blessing previously secured.
—Cicero (106BCE–43BCE) Roman Philosopher, Orator, Politician, Lawyer

—Sarah Ban Breathnach (b.1947) American Self-help Author
Be generous! Give to those you love; give to those who love you; give o the fortunate; give to the unfortunate – yes, give especially to those you don’t want to give. You will receive abundance for your giving. The ore you give, the more you will have!
—W. Clement Stone (1902–2002) American Self-help Guru, Entrepreneur
To be healthy, wealthy, happy and successful in any and all areas of your life you need to be aware that you need to think healthy, wealthy, and happy and successful thoughts twenty-four hours a day and cancel all negative, destructive, fearful and unhappy thoughts. These two types of thought cannot coexist if you want to share in the abundance that surrounds us all.
—Sidney Madwed (1926–2013) American Poet, Author
The world is full of abundance and opportunity, but far too many people come to the fountain of life with a sieve instead of a tank car, teaspoon instead of a steam shovel. They expect little and as a result they get little.
—Ben Sweetland
It is inevitable when one has a great need of something, one finds it. What you need you attract like a lover.
