There are two meanings to this, both very different from each other.
First, it's a modernisation of a verse in The Bible, Book of Proverbs 23:7 (chapter 23, verse 7):
As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.
As a stand-alone verse, "as a man thinks so is he" seems to mean "You will become what you think; so if you allow yourself to think negative, fearful thoughts, you will become a negative, fearful person."
However, the full passage, from the King James Version, is as follows:
Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire though his dainty meats: For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he; Eat and drink, saith he to thee: but his heart is not with thee. The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
This passage seems to suggest one should consider the true motivations of a person who is being uncharacteristically generous before accepting his generosity, because of the consequences.
