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

Best Quotes about Thoughts and thinking
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
Thoughts are the shadows of our sensations -- always darker, emptier, simpler than these.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
The minute a phrase, becomes current, it becomes an apology for not thinking accurately to the end of the sentence.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
Thoughts are forces.
Trine, Ralph Waldo
Some persons do first, think afterward, and then repent forever.
Secker, Thomas
No man should think himself a zero, and think he can do nothing about the state of the world.
Baruch, Bernard M.
If a man sits down to think, he is immediately asked if has a headache.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Our virtues are dearer to us the more we have had to suffer for them. It is the same with our children. All profound affection entertains a sacrifice. Our thoughts are often worse than we are, just as they are often better.
Eliot, George
All thought must, directly or indirectly, by way of certain characters, relate ultimately to intuitions, and therefore, with us, to sensibility, because in no other way can an object be given to us.
Kant, Immanuel
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
It is the power of thought that gives man power over nature.
Anderson, Hans Christian
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
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
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever, is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things. [Philippians 4:8]
Bible
If we examine our thoughts, we shall find them always occupied with the past and the future.
Pascal, Blaise
Like many rich men, he thought in anecdotes; like many simple women, she thought in terms of biography.
Brookner, Anita
Sloppy thinking gets worse over time.
Holzer, Jenny
They use thought only to justify their injustices, and speech only to disguise their thoughts.
Voltaire
When we talk in company we lose our unique tone of voice, and this leads us to make statements which is no way correspond to our real thoughts.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
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
I thought so hard I got a headache.
Cobb, J.D.
If everybody thought before they spoke, the silence would be deafening.
Barzan, George
Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking.
Whitehead, Alfred North
Thought is an infection. In the case of certain thoughts, it becomes an epidemic.
Stevens, Wallace
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
There is no thought in any mind, but it quickly tends to convert itself into power.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Profundity of thought belongs to youth, clarity of thought to old age.
Fredrich
A man's life is what his thoughts make of it.
Aurelius, Marcus
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
A man thinks as well through his legs and arms as this brain.
Thoreau, Henry David
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
Thought must be divided against itself before it can come to any knowledge of itself.
Huxley, Aldous
Far more numerous are those as such; who think too little and talk too much.
Dryden, John
Associate reverently, as much as you can, with your loftiest thoughts.
Thoreau, Henry David
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.
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
In order to be able to set a limit to thought, we should have to find both sides of the limit thinkable (i.e. we should have to be able to think what cannot be thought).
Wittgenstein, Ludwig
Every thought is a seed. If you plant crab apples don't count on harvesting golden Delicious .
Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, the chief glory of man.
Russell, Bertrand
We are ashamed of our thoughts and often see them brought forth by others.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
Thinking is one thing no one has ever been able to tax.
Kettering, Charles F.
Thinking in words slows you down and actually decreases comprehension in much the same way as walking a tightrope too slowly makes one lose one's balance.
Fleischer, Lenore
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
One thought fills immensity.
Blake, William
Sooner or later, false thinking brings wrong conduct.
Huxley, Julian S.
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
To think too long about doing a thing often becomes its undoing.
Young, Eva
To reflect is to disturb one's thoughts.
Rostand, Jean
As you think, so shall you become.
Lee, Bruce
