Thoughts and thinking

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.

Best Quotes about Thoughts and thinking

1.
He that never thinks can never be wise.
Johnson

2.
How can they expect a harvest of thought who have not had the seed time of character.
Thoreau, Henry David

3.
I think I did pretty well, considering I started out with nothing but a bunch of blank paper.
Martin, Steve

4.
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

5.
Thinking and Thought: Thoughts are funny little things, They can make paupers or make kings.
Madwed, Sidney

6.
Each thought that is welcomed and recorded is a nest egg by the side of which more will be laid.
Thoreau, Henry David

7.
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

8.
Associate reverently, as much as you can, with your loftiest thoughts.
Thoreau, Henry David

9.
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

10.
Everyone has to learn to think differently, bigger, to open to possibilities.
Winfrey, Oprah

11.
It's only a thought, and a thought can be changed.
May, Louise

12.
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.

13.
Sloppy thinking gets worse over time.
Holzer, Jenny

14.
Thoughts are forces.
Trine, Ralph Waldo

15.
One must live the way one thinks or end up thinking the way one has lived.
Bourget, Paul

16.
For in itself a thought, a slumbering thought, is capable of years, and curdles a long life into one hour.
Byron, Lord

17.
If I look confused it is because I am thinking.
Goldwyn, Samuel

18.
The busiest of living agents are certain dead men's thoughts.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

19.
Those that think must govern those that toil.
Goldsmith, Oliver

20.
Far more numerous are those as such; who think too little and talk too much.
Dryden, John

21.
If I have done the public any service, it is due to my patient thought.
Newton, Sir Isaac

22.
To know the true reality of yourself, you must be aware not only of your conscious thoughts, but also of your unconscious prejudices, bias and habits.

23.
The revelation of Thought takes men out of servitude into freedom.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

24.
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.
Aurelius, Marcus

25.
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

26.
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

27.
It is clear that all verbal structures with meaning are verbal imitations of that elusive psychological and physiological process known as thought, a process stumbling through emotional entanglements, sudden irrational convictions, involuntary gleams of insight, rationalized prejudices, and blocks of panic and inertia, finally to reach a completely incommunicable intuition.
Frye, Northrop

28.
I was a freethinker before I knew how to think.
Shaw, George Bernard

29.
A person may dwell so long upon a thought that it may take him a prisoner.
Halifax, Edward F.

30.
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

31.
How can I know what I think till I see what I say?
Forster, Edward M.

32.
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

33.
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

34.
A man's what he thinks about all day long
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

35.
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.

36.
If everyone is thinking alike then somebody isn't thinking.
Patton, George S.

37.
Thought precedes action, action does not always precede thought.
Horton, Doug

38.
I think and that is all that I am.
Dyer, Wayne

39.
A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason.
Paine, Thomas

40.
Intelligence must follow faith, never precede it. and never destroy it.
Kempis, Thomas

41.
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

42.
A hundred wagon loads of thoughts will not pay a single ounce of debt.
Proverb, Italian

Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking.
Whitehead, Alfred North

When thoughts arise, then do all things arise. When thoughts vanish, then do all things vanish.
Po, Huang

Nothing pains some people more than having to think.
King Jr. Martin Luther

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

47.
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.
