Emerson, Ralph Waldo

Most of one's life is one prolonged effort to prevent oneself thinking.

How you think when you lose determines how long it will be until you win.

Chesterton, Gilbert K.

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.

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

What is the hardest thing in the world? To think.

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

11.

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

12.

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

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

21.

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

22.

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

25.

It was at a particular moment in the history of my own rages that I saw the Western world conditioned by the images of Marx, Darwin and Freud; and Marx, Darwin and Freud are the three most crashing bores of the Western world. The simplistic popularization of their ideas has thrust our world into a mental straitjacket from which we can only escape by the most anarchic violence.

Golding, William

26.

He that never thinks can never be wise.

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

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

30.

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

31.

Every thought we think is creating our future.

Hay, Louise L.

Butterworth, Eric

42.

He who thinks and thinks for himself, will always have a claim to thanks; it is no matter whether it be right or wrong, so as it be explicit. If it is right, it will serve as a guide to direct; if wrong, as a beacon to warn.

Bentham, Jeremy

43.

A person may dwell so long upon a thought that it may take him a prisoner.

Halifax, Edward F.

44.

I think and that is all that I am.

Dyer, Wayne

45.

Build this day on a foundation of pleasant thoughts. Never fret at any imperfections that you fear may impede your progress. Remind yourself, as often as necessary, that you are a creature of God and have the power to achieve any dream by lifting up your thoughts. You can fly when you decide that you can. Never consider yourself defeated again. Let the vision in your heart be in your life's blueprint. Smile!

Mandino, Og

46.

Our goodness comes solely from thinking on goodness; our wickedness from thinking on wickedness. We too are the victims of our own contemplation.

Chapman, John Jay

Thought is the labor of the intellect, reverie is its pleasure.

Hugo, Victor

48.

There is nothing so unthinkable as thought, unless it be the entire absence of thought.

Butler, Samuel

49.

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.

50.

Thinking is one thing no one has ever been able to tax.

Kettering, Charles F.
