Best Quotes about Mind

Out of sight, out of mind. The absent are always in the wrong.

As you think so shall you be! Since you cannot physically experience another person, you can only experience them in your mind. Conclusion: All of the other people in your life are simply thoughts in your mind. Not physical beings to you, but thoughts. Your relationships are all in how you think about the other people of your life. Your experience of all those people is only in your mind. Your feelings about your lovers come from your thoughts. For example, they may in fact behave in ways that you find offensive. However, your relationship to them when they behave offensively is not determined by their behavior, it is determined only by how you choose to relate to that behavior. Their actions are theirs, you cannot own them, you cannot be them, you can only process them in your mind.

Dyer, Wayne

34.

There is nothing so lovely and enduring in the regions which surround us, above and below, as the lasting peace of a mind centered in God.

Vasishtha, Yoga

35.

Man's mind is not a container to be filled but rather a fire to be kindled.

Brande, Dorothea

36.

The disunited mind is far from wise; how can it meditate? How be at peace? When you know no peace, how can you know joy?

Bhagavad Gita
