assumptions though false, if sustained, will harden into fact
your assumption, though false, if sustained, will harden into fact
this assumption though false, that is, although reason and the senses deny it, if persisted in will harden into fact
The sensation which dominates the mind of man as he falls asleep, though false, will harden into fact
An assumption, though false, if sustained will harden into fact
assumptions if sustained invariably awaken what they affirm
Assumptions awaken what they affirm
assumptions, though false, if persisted in until they have the feeling of reality, will harden into fact
If we persist in the assumption that we are what we wish to be, we will become transformed into that which we have imagined ourselves to be
