Best Quotes about Thoughts and thinking

Our life is what our thoughts make it. A man will find that as he alters his thoughts toward things and other people, things and other people will alter towards him.

Allen, James

THINK. Think about your appearance, associations, actions, ambitions, accomplishment.

Watson, Thomas J.

Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.

Hill, Napoleon

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

Martin, Steve

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.

Thought precedes action, action does not always precede thought.

Horton, Doug

Nothing has any power over me other than that which I give it through my conscious thoughts.

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

Thoreau, Henry David

18.

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

19.

We are formed and molded by our thoughts. Those whose minds are shaped by selfless thoughts give joy when they speak or act. Joy follows them like a shadow that never leaves them.

Buddha

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

21.

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

22.

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

Nightingale, Earl

29.

Modern man likes to pretend that his thinking is wide-awake. But this wide-awake thinking has led us into the mazes of a nightmare in which the torture chambers are endlessly repeated in the mirrors of reason.

Paz, Octavio

30.

We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.

Einstein, Albert

31.

Thought takes man out of servitude, into freedom.

Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

32.

As you think, so shall you become.

Lee, Bruce

33.

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

34.

Shaw, George Bernard

37.

Thinking is only a process of talking to yourself.

38.

Profundity of thought belongs to youth, clarity of thought to old age.

Fredrich

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

Kettering, Charles F.

40.

Sloppy thinking gets worse over time.

Holzer, Jenny

41.

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

42.

Thought is the parent of the deed.

Carlyle, Thomas
