Born in 1866, Trine's writings emphasized the power of positive thinking and the interconnectedness of all life. His most notable work, 'In Tune with the Infinite,' published in 1897, became a cornerstone of New Thought literature, advocating for a life of harmony, abundance, and spiritual awareness. Trine's ideas resonated with a wide audience, promoting a philosophy that combined spirituality with practical self-help principles.

“In order to enjoy life one must be a master of life—for to be a slave to its inconsistencies can only mean torment; and in order to enjoy the senses one must be master of them. To dominate the actual world you must, like Archimedes, base your fulcrum somewhere beyond.”
“The optimist is right. The pessimist is right. The one differs from the other as the light from the dark. Yet both are right. Each is right from his own particular point of view, and this point of view is the determining factor in the life of each. It determines as to whether it is a life of power or of impotence, of peace or of pain, of success or of failure.”
