Orison Swett Marden, (1850 - 1924) was an American writer associated with the New Thought Movement. He founded Success Magazine in 1897 and is considered to be the pioneer of the modern success movement in America.
Marden's first book, Pushing to the Front, published in 1894, had a phenomenal circulation. His book titles express eloquently his outlook of cheerful optimism and confidence.
“We lift ourselves by our thought; we climb upon our vision of ourselves. If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge your thought of it and of yourself. Hold the ideal of yourself as you long to be, always, everywhere - your ideal of what you long to attain - the ideal of health, efficiency, success.”
"Before we can win out in life, we must believe in our power to win. We must be confident in our expectations of success, vigorous in our self-faith."
Faith moves mountains. "To him that believeth, all things are possible." The man, who does not believe in something and believe in it with all his soul, is a pretty poor stick.
