Best Quotes about Thoughts and thinking

It was at a particular moment in the history of my own rages that I saw the Western world conditioned by the images of Marx, Darwin and Freud; and Marx, Darwin and Freud are the three most crashing bores of the Western world. The simplistic popularization of their ideas has thrust our world into a mental straitjacket from which we can only escape by the most anarchic violence.

Golding, William

Life is good when we think it's good. Life is bad when we don't think.

Horton, Doug

Everyone has to learn to think differently, bigger, to open to possibilities.

Winfrey, Oprah

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

Buddha

If we are not ashamed to think it, we should not be ashamed to say it.

Cicero, Marcus T.

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

If a man sits down to think, he is immediately asked if has a headache.

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

The birthplace of success for each person is in his Inner-Consciousness. The Inner-Consciousness will use whatever it is given. If constructive thoughts are planted positive outcomes will be the result. Plant the seeds of failure and failure will follow.

Madwed, Sidney

Build this day on a foundation of pleasant thoughts. Never fret at any imperfections that you fear may impede your progress. Remind yourself, as often as necessary, that you are a creature of God and have the power to achieve any dream by lifting up your thoughts. You can fly when you decide that you can. Never consider yourself defeated again. Let the vision in your heart be in your life's blueprint. Smile!

Mandino, Og

10.

Thinking is not to agree or disagree. That is voting.

Frost, Robert

11.

If everybody thought before they spoke, the silence would be deafening.

Barzan, George

12.

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

13.

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

14.

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

20.

The problem with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than their minds.

Duranty, Walter

21.

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

22.

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

23.

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

24.

A man thinks as well through his legs and arms as this brain.

Thoreau, Henry David

25.

Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts.

Kierkegaard, S°ren

26.

I am not what I think. I am thinking what I think.

Butterworth, Eric

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.

Sloppy thinking gets worse over time.

Holzer, Jenny

29.

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

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

35.

In thinking, if a person begins with certainties, they shall end in doubts, but if they can begin with doubts, they will end in certainties.

Bacon, Francis

36.

If we examine our thoughts, we shall find them always occupied with the past and the future.

Pascal, Blaise

We like a man to come right out and say what he thinks, if we agree with him.
