Best Quotes about Thoughts and thinking

What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind.

Buddha

The thought pattern characteristic of the right brain lends itself to the formation of original ideas, insights, discoveries. We might describe it as the kind of thought prevalent in early childhood, when everything is new and everything has meaning. If you have ever walked along a beach and suddenly stopped to pick up a piece of driftwood because it looked to you like a leaping impala or a troll, you know the feeling of pleasure that comes from the sudden recognition of a form. Your Design mind (right brain) has perceived connections and had made a pattern of meaning. It takes logical, rational acts and facts of the world you know, the snippets of your experience, the bits and pieces of your language capabilities, and perceives connections, patterns, and relationships in them.

Rico, Gabriele Lusser

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

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

I am not what I think. I am thinking what I think.

Butterworth, Eric

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

10.

For in itself a thought, a slumbering thought, is capable of years, and curdles a long life into one hour.

Byron, Lord

It's only a thought, and a thought can be changed.

May, Louise

Associate reverently, as much as you can, with your loftiest thoughts.

Thoreau, Henry David

13.

The reason there are so few good talkers in public is that there are so few thinkers in private.

14.

Thinking more than others about our own thoughts is not self-centeredness. It means that if asked what's on our mind, we are less likely to mention being aware of the world around us, and more likely to mention our inner reflections. But we are less likely to mention thinking about other people.

Aron, Elaine N.

15.

Think of your own faults the first part of the night when you are awake, and of the faults of others the latter part of the night when you are asleep.

Proverb, Chinese

16.

Think then act safely.

17.

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.

We are ashamed of our thoughts and often see them brought forth by others.

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

23.

Far more numerous are those as such; who think too little and talk too much.

Dryden, John

24.

Man must get his thoughts, words and actions out of this vast moral jungle. We are not predators. We are, hopefully, more than instinctive killers and selfish brutes. Why take such a dim view of our potentialities and capabilities?

Dinsah, H.Jay

25.

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

26.

Thought is the parent of the deed.

Carlyle, Thomas

27.

The birth of thought in the depths of the spirit, the shaping and ordering of it into periods, the translation into signs, and above all the transference of it from one spirit to another, the communication that is, if only for an instant, the meeting of two beings, with the unforeseeable consequences that such a meeting always causes, is in fact a miracle; except that the moment one stops to think about it one can't even write a letter.

Satta, Salvatore

28.

Thinking clearly and effectively is the greatest asset of any human being. We are constantly reminded that the one superiority that man has over other animals is the ability to think. It is primarily our ability to think that sets us apart from other animals.

Lorayne, Harry

29.

What was once thought can never be unthought.

Friedrich, Carl J.

30.

How you look at a situation is very important, for how you think about a problem may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. When you get discouraged or depressed, try changing your attitude from negative to positive and see how life can change for you. Remember, your attitude toward a situation can help you to change it -- you create the very atmosphere for defeat or victory.

Harris, Franco

31.

What your heart thinks is great, is great. The soul's emphasis is always right.

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

32.

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

Stevens, Wallace

33.

There is a criterion by which you can judge whether the thoughts you are thinking and the things you are doing are right for you. The criterion is: Have they brought you inner peace? If they have not, there is something wrong with them -- so keep seeking! If what you do has brought you inner peace, stay with what you believe is right.

Pilgrim, Peace

34.

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.

35.

Thought is the wind and knowledge the sail.

Hare, David

A man's what he thinks about all day long

Trine, Ralph Waldo

42.

Rational free spirits are the light brigade who go on ahead and reconnoiter the ground which the heavy brigade of the orthodox will eventually occupy.

Lichtenberg, Georg C.

43.

We all indulge in the strange, pleasant process called thinking, but when it comes to saying, even to someone opposite, what we think, then how little we are able to convey! The phantom is through the mind and out of the window before we can lay salt on

Woolf, Virginia

44.

Sooner or later, false thinking brings wrong conduct.

Huxley, Julian S.

45.

There is a big difference between thinking: I'm in a relationship and something's wrong. Therefore something must be wrong with the relationship. and thinking I'm in a relationship and we've got problems. This is evidence that you are different than me.

Dyer, Wayne

46.

Thinking good thoughts is not enough, doing good deeds is not enough, seeing others follow your good examples is enough.

Horton, Doug

47.

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
