Best Quotes about Thoughts and thinking

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

Buddha

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.

Never consider yourself defeated again. Let the vision in your heart be in your life's blueprint. Smile!

These questions and other strange phenomena engaged my thought throughout my life.
