The correct quotation is -
"Sow a thought, reap an act.
Sow an act, reap a habit.
Sow a habit, reap a character.
Sow a character, reap a destiny."

I did a yahoo search for this and found a couple of different answers. It is cited as a Chinese proverb. It is quoted in a sermon by John Wilbur Chapman. At least 2 sites have it as a quote by George Dana Boardman.
