Chapman, John Jay

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

A man's life is what his thoughts make of it.

Aurelius, Marcus

11.

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

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

13.

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

14.

Tell your boss what you think of him and the truth shall set you free.

15.

When I write down my thoughts, they do not escape me. This action makes me remember my strength which I forget at all times. I educate myself proportionately to my captured thought. I aim only to distinguish the contradiction between my mind and nothingness.

Lautreamont, Isidore Ducasse, Comte De

16.

Thought is the parent of the deed.

Carlyle, Thomas

17.

The how thinker gets problems solved effectively because he wastes no time with futile ifs.

Peale, Norman Vincent

18.

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.

19.

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

Sutra, Diamond

In America we can say what we think, and even if we can't think, we can say it anyhow.

Kettering, Charles F.

26.

Thinking is heavily endorsed.

Pancoast, Mal

27.

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

28.

One thought fills immensity.

Blake, William

29.

As the Fletcher whittles and makes straight his arrows, so the master directs his straying thoughts.

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

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

33.

He that thinks he is the happiest man, really is so. But he that thinks he is the wisest, is generally the greatest fool.

Colton, Charles Caleb

34.

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

Trine, Ralph Waldo

35.

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

36.

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

Brookner, Anita

41.

Thoughts have power; thoughts are energy. And you can make your world or break it by your own thinking.

Taylor, Susan

42.

I roamed the countryside searching for answers to things I did not understand. Why thunder lasts longer than that which causes it, and why immediately on its creation the lightning becomes visible to the eye while thunder requires time to travel. How the various circles of water form around the spot which has been struck by a stone and why a bird sustains itself in the air. These questions and other strange phenomena engaged my thought throughout my life.

Da Vinci, Leonardo

43.

Man is the only creature who has a nasty mind.

Twain, Mark

44.

The surprises of thought are like those of love: they wear out. But here too you can carry on for a long time doing your conjugal duty.

Baudrillard, Jean

45.

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

Bristol, Claude M.

49.

One must live the way one thinks or end up thinking the way one has lived.
