Thoughts and thinking

Like many rich men, he thought in anecdotes; like many simple women, she thought in terms of biography.

Thoughts and thinking Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Thoughts and thinking

1.
Thinking is one thing no one has ever been able to tax.
Kettering, Charles F.

2.
All thought must, directly or indirectly, by way of certain characters, relate ultimately to intuitions, and therefore, with us, to sensibility, because in no other way can an object be given to us.
Kant, Immanuel

3.
Most of one's life is one prolonged effort to prevent oneself thinking.
Huxley, Aldous

4.
Thought is the original source of all wealth, all success, all material gain, all great discoveries and inventions, and of all achievement.
Bristol, Claude M.

5.
A sect or party is an incognito devised to save man from the vexation of thinking.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

6.
When we talk in company we lose our unique tone of voice, and this leads us to make statements which is no way correspond to our real thoughts.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

7.
Thinking is the most unhealthy thing in the world, and people die of it just as they die of any other disease. Fortunately, in England at any rate, thought is not catching. Our splendid physique as a people is entirely due to our national stupidity.
Wilde, Oscar

8.
Think success, don't think failure. At work, in your home, substitute success thinking for failure thinking. When you face a difficult situation, think, I'll win, not I'll probably lose. When you compete with someone else, think, I'm equal to the best, not I'm out-classed. When opportunity appears, think I can do it, never I can't. Let the master thought I-will-succeed dominate your thinking process. Thinking success conditions your mind to create plans that produce success. Thinking failure does the exact opposite. Failure thinking conditions the mind to think other thoughts that produce failure.
Schwartz, David J.

9.
Learn to think like a winner. Think positive and visualize your strengths.
Braden, Vic

10.
Man is the only creature who has a nasty mind.
Twain, Mark

11.
A man's what he thinks about all day long
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

12.
How can they expect a harvest of thought who have not had the seed time of character.
Thoreau, Henry David

13.
If everybody thought before they spoke, the silence would be deafening.
Barzan, George

14.
Thought expands, but paralyzes; action animates, but narrows.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

15.
You become what you think about.
Nightingale, Earl

16.
Humans have the ability to shift perspective. We can experience the world through our senses. Or we can remove ourselves from our senses and experience the world even less directly. We can think about our life, rather than thinking in our life. We can think about what we think about our life, and we can think about what we think about that. We can shift perceptual positions many times over.
Emerick, John J.

17.
If one wants to abide in the thought-free state, a struggle is inevitable. One must fight one's way through before regaining one's original primal state. If one succeeds in the fight and reaches the goal, the enemy, namely the thoughts, will all subside in the Self and disappear entirely.
Maharshi, Ramana

18.
Thinking is only a process of talking to yourself.

19.
Learning without thought is labor lost. Thought without learning is perilous.
Confucius

20.
Thought must be divided against itself before it can come to any knowledge of itself.
Huxley, Aldous

21.
Arouse the mind without resting it on anything.
Sutra, Diamond

22.
Clarity is the counterbalance of profound thoughts.
Vauvenargues, Marquis De

23.
Thought precedes action, action does not always precede thought.
Horton, Doug

24.
When men yield up the privilege of thinking, the last shadow of liberty quits the horizon.
Paine, Thomas

25.
Every thought you entertain is a force that goes out, and every thought comes back laden with its kind.
Trine, Ralph Waldo

26.
Thinking well to be wise: planning well, wiser: doing well wisest and best of all.
Forbes, Malcolm S.

27.
When I'm getting ready to reason with a man, I spend one-third of my time thinking about myself and what I am going to say and two-thirds thinking about him and what he is going to say.
Lincoln, Abraham

28.
Thoughts of themselves have no substance; let them arise and pass away unheeded. Thoughts will not take form of themselves, unless they are grasped by the attention; if they are ignored, there will be no appearing and no disappearing.
Ashvaghosha

29.
Man is only a reed, the weakest in nature; but he is a thinking reed. There is no need for the whole universe to take up arms to crush him: a vapor, a drop of water is enough to kill him. But even if the universe were to crush him, man would still be nobler than his slayer, because he knows that he is dying and the advantage the universe has over him. The universe knows nothing of this.
Pascal, Blaise

30.
Do you suffer your thoughts to tamper with evil; and to dally with wrong-doing? If so; you are not sincere. God will regard your thoughts; for thoughts are heard in heaven. If you willingly sin in thought; if you are base and guilty there; because you think that no eye will see your thoughts; the guilt and baseness will sooner or later break into the outlets of word and deed -- from thought to wish -- from wish to purpose -- from purpose to word -- from word to act -- from act to habit -- from delight in the imagination to consent in the will -- from deed to repeated transgression; such is the genesis of sin.
Farrar, Frederick

31.
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.
Aurelius, Marcus

32.
Those that think must govern those that toil.
Goldsmith, Oliver

33.
A thought which does not result in an action is nothing much, and an action which does not proceed from a thought is nothing at all.
Bernanos, Georges

34.
Thoughts are the gun, words are the bullets, deeds are the target, the bulls-eye is heaven.
Horton, Doug

35.
We like a man to come right out and say what he thinks, if we agree with him.
Twain, Mark

36.
Thoughts are the shadows of our sensations -- always darker, emptier, simpler than these.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

37.
If I have done the public any service, it is due to my patient thought.
Newton, Sir Isaac

38.
Great thoughts always come from the heart.
Vauvenargues, Marquis De

39.
Thought is an infection. In the case of certain thoughts, it becomes an epidemic.
Stevens, Wallace

40.
They use thought only to justify their injustices, and speech only to disguise their thoughts.
Voltaire

41.
Kind thoughts are rarer than either kind words or deeds. They imply a great deal of thinking about others. This in itself is rare. But they also imply a great deal of thinking about others without the thoughts being criticisms. This is rarer still.
Faber, Frederick W.

42.
To think is to practice brain chemistry.
Chopra, Deepak

43.
Associate reverently, as much as you can, with your loftiest thoughts.
Thoreau, Henry David

44.
Thoughts are things; they have tremendous power. Thoughts of doubt and fear are pathways to failure. When you conquer negative attitudes of doubt and fear you conquer failure. Thoughts crystallize into habit and habit solidifies into circumstances.
Adams, Bryan

45.
Either you think -- or else others have to think for you and take power from you, pervert and discipline your natural tastes, civilize and sterilize you.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott

46.
The how thinker gets problems solved effectively because he wastes no time with futile ifs.
Peale, Norman Vincent

47.
Thinking is heavily endorsed.
Pancoast, Mal

48.
Thought is the parent of the deed.
Carlyle, Thomas

49.
Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth more than ruin more even than death. Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man.
Russell, Bertrand

50.
Guard your roving thoughts with a jealous care, for speech is but the dialer of thoughts, and every fool can plainly read in your words what is the hour of your thoughts.
Tennyson, Lord Alfred
