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

29.

Do not think that what your thoughts dwell upon is of no matter. Your thoughts are making you.

Steere, Bishop

30.

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.

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

Taylor, Susan

34.

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

35.

No man can think clearly when his fists are clenched.

Nathan, George Jean

36.

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.

Proverb, Chinese

38.

One thought fills immensity.

Blake, William

39.

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
