Biography
Little is known about Wattles' life. He was born in the United States shortly before the Civil War, and experienced much failure in his earlier years. Later in life he took to studying the various religious beliefs and philosophies of the world including those ofDescartes, Spinoza, Gottfried Liebniz, Schoenhauer, Hegel, Swedenborg, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and others. It was through his tireless study and experimentation that he claimed to have discovered the truth of what he called "new thought" principles and put them into practice in his own life. He began to write books outlining these principles. He practiced the technique of creative visualization and as his daughter Florence related, "He wrote almost constantly. It was then that he formed his mental picture. He saw himself as a successful writer, a personality of power, an advancing man, and he began to work toward the realization of this vision. He lived every page ... His life was truly the powerful life." He died within a year after publication of his book.

"When you make a failure it is because you have not asked for enough. Keep on, and a larger thing than you were seeking will certainly come to you."
"There is never any hurry on the creative plane, and there is no lack of opportunity."
"The grateful mind is constantly fixed upon the best. Therefore it tends to become the best. It takes the form or character of the best, and will receive the best."
"The object of all life is development; and everything that lives has an inalienable right to all the development it is capable of attaining."
"Give a little child a pencil and paper, and they begin to draw crude figures; That which lives in them is trying to express Itself in art. Give them a set of blocks, and he will try to build something; That which lives in them is seeking expression in architecture. Seat them at a piano, and they will try to draw harmony from the keys; That which lives in them is trying to express Itself in music. That which lives in man is always seeking to live more [...]."
