All lives are difficult; what makes some of them fulfilled as well is the manner in which pains have been met. Every pain is an indistinct signal that something is wrong, which may engender either a good or bad result depending on the sagacity and strength of mind of the sufferer. Anxiety may precipitate panic, or an accurate analysis of what is amiss. A sense of injustice may lead to murder, or to a ground-breaking work of economic theory. Envy may lead to bitterness, or to a decision to compete with a rival and the production of a masterpiece. As ~ Alain De Botton
Strength Of Mind quotes by Alain De Botton
Sarah often thought it funny how she would think of the characters as if they were real people who had really lived, occupying this very world with the same strength of mind and passion as their creator. ~ Victoria Connelly
Strength Of Mind quotes by Victoria Connelly
Atheism shows strength of mind, but only to a certain degree. ~ Blaise Pascal
Strength Of Mind quotes by Blaise Pascal
Both strength of mind and body are necessary, strengths which in the last few months have deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me, ~ Pope Benedict XVI
Strength Of Mind quotes by Pope Benedict XVI
Women have seldom sufficient employment to silence their feelings; a round of little cares, or vain pursuits frittering away all strength of mind and organs, they become naturally only objects of sense. ~ Mary Wollstonecraft
Strength Of Mind quotes by Mary Wollstonecraft
Strength of mind rests in sobriety; for this keeps your reason unclouded by passion. ~ Pythagoras
Strength Of Mind quotes by Pythagoras
Men lose their birthrights for a mess of pottage only if they stop using the gifts given them by God for their betterment. By prayer. That is the first and greatest gift. Use the gift of prayer. Ask for strength of mind, and a clear vision. Then sense. Use your sense. ... Think long and well. By prayer and good thought you will conquer all enemies. ~ Richard Llewellyn
Strength Of Mind quotes by Richard Llewellyn
Every line from you exhilarates my spirits and gives me a glow of pleasure, but your kind congratulations are solid comfort to my heart. The little strength of mind and the considerable strenght of body that I once possessed appear to be all gone, but while I breathe I shall be your friend. ~ David McCullough
Strength Of Mind quotes by David McCullough
Intellect is not sexed; ... strength of mind is not sexed; and ... our views about the duties of men and the duties of women, the sphere of man and the sphere of woman, are mere arbitrary opinions, differing in different ages and countries, and dependent solely on the will and judgment of erring mortals. ~ Sarah Moore Grimke
Strength Of Mind quotes by Sarah Moore Grimke
Blackthorne, beside the gates, was still turmoiled by his boundless joy at her reprieve and he remembered how his own will had been stretched that night of his near-seppuku, when he had had to get up as a man and walk home as a man unsupported, and became samurai. And he watched her, despising the need for this courage, yet understanding it, even honoring it. ~ James Clavell
Strength Of Mind quotes by James Clavell
True Christian fortitude consists in strength of mind, through grace, exerted in two things; in ruling and suppressing the evil and unruly passions and affections of the mind; and in steadfastly and freely exerting and following good affections and dispositions, without being hindered by sinful fear or the opposition of enemies ... Though Christian fortitude appears in withstanding and counteracting the enemies that are without us; yet it much more appears in resisting and suppressing the enemies that are within us; because they are our worst and strongest enemies and have greatest advantage against us. The strength of the good soldier of Jesus Christ appears in nothing more than in steadfastly maintaining the holy calm, meekness, sweetness, and benevolence of his mind, amidst all the storms, injuries, strange behaviour, and surprising acts and events of this evil and unreasonable world. ~ Jonathan Edwards
Strength Of Mind quotes by Jonathan Edwards
I haven't strength of mind not to need a career. ~ Ruth Benedict
Strength Of Mind quotes by Ruth Benedict
Thou knowest how numerous this tribe is, how united and how powerful in the assemblies. I will plead in a low voice so that only the judges may hear, for instigators are not lacking to stir up the crowd against me, and against all the best citizens. To scorn, in the interest of the Republic, this multitude of Jews so often turbulent in the assemblies shows a singular strength of mind. The money is in the Treasury; they do not accuse us of theft; they seek to stir up hatreds ... ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Strength Of Mind quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
The sign of vigour, the sign of life, the sign of hope, the sign of health, the sign of everything that is good, is strength. As long as the body lives, there must be strength in the body, strength in the mind, [and strength] in the hand. ~ Swami Vivekananda
Strength Of Mind quotes by Swami Vivekananda
I suppose I've always been attracted to this sort of outsider in general - in literature, in music, politics, whatever - and to the person that is able to be relentlessly themselves. I don't think that I have that quality, that strength of mind. ~ Cillian Murphy
Strength Of Mind quotes by Cillian Murphy
Once an individual shines bright walking in average light to some may appear as dim surroundings.. ~ Victoria Addino
Strength Of Mind quotes by Victoria Addino
When the culture of the East, its chief characteristic, is added to the strength of body and the strength of mind of the agricultural center, its special contribution, and these two great characteristics are constantly imbued with the spirit of independence and love of liberty which lives in the hearts of the dwellers of the mountains, their main quality added to the national character, there is every reason to believe that we shall have a people and institutions such as will be permanent; with such wealth of resources, of such high education and intelligence, and of such vitality, of such longevity, of such devotion to freedom and hostility to centralization and tyranny as shall enable this Nation of ours to stand indefinitely; and to maintain in the future years its manifest destiny of leading the peoples and nations of earth in the principles of free government, constitutional security and individual liberty. Under these and under these alone, the faculties, the aspirations and inspirations of mankind may be unfolded into their full flowering to the fruition of an ever greater and more humane civilization. ~ Charles Edwin Winter
Strength Of Mind quotes by Charles Edwin Winter
Mind is the altar, mind is the temple, mind is the lord and mind is the gospel. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Strength Of Mind quotes by Abhijit Naskar
The man who fears death will never do anything worthy of a man who is alive; but he who knows that these were the conditions drawn up for him when he was conceived will live according to this rule and at the same time, through the same strength of mind, he will ensure that none of what happens to him will come unexpectedly. ~ Seneca.
Strength Of Mind quotes by Seneca.
When anyone abuses you verbally, do not react. Because the very words that they are using against you are the very words that they are defining themselves as! ~ Avijeet Das
Strength Of Mind quotes by Avijeet Das
With patience one can achieve what force never will. ~ Clyde Lee Dennis
Strength Of Mind quotes by Clyde Lee Dennis
A compassionate heart still feels anger, greed, jealousy, and other such emotions. But it accepts them for what they are with equanimity, and cultivates the strength of mind to let them arise and pass without identifying with or acting upon them. ~ Stephen Batchelor
Strength Of Mind quotes by Stephen Batchelor
We want the education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one's own feet. ~ Swami Vivekananda
Strength Of Mind quotes by Swami Vivekananda
It is time, therefore, that you should apply for aid to such helpful Spirits. But will you have the strength of mind, the courage to endure the approach of Beings so different from mankind? I know that their coming produces certain inevitable effects, as internal tremors, the revulsion of the blood from its ordinary course; but I also know that these terrors, these revulsions, painful as they undoubtedly are, must appear as nothing compared with the mortal pain of separation from an object loved greatly and exclusively. ~ William Beckford
Strength Of Mind quotes by William Beckford
The secret isn't in your legs, but in your strength of mind. You need to go for a run when it is raining, windy, and snowing, when lightning sets trees on fire as you pass them, when snowflakes or hailstones strike your legs and body in the storm and make you weep, and in order to keep running, you have to wipe away the tears to see the stones, walls, or sky. ~ Kilian Jornet
Strength Of Mind quotes by Kilian Jornet
Wretched am I, says one, that this has befallen me. Nay, say you, happy I, who, tho' this has befallen me, can still remain without sorrow, neither broken by the present, nor dreading the future. The like might have befallen any one; but every one could not have remained thus undejected. Why should the event be called a misfortune, rather than this strength of mind a felicity? But, can you call that a misfortune, to a man, which does not frustrate the intention of his nature? Can that frustrate the intention of it, or hinder it to attain its end, which is not contrary to the will or purpose of his nature; What is this will or purpose? Sure you have learned it. Doth this event hinder you to be just, magnanimous, temperate, prudent, cautious of rash assent, free from error, possessed of a sense of honour and modesty, and of true liberty; or from meriting those other characters, which whoever enjoys, hath all his nature requires, as its proper perfection? And then, upon every occasion of sorrow, remember the maxim, that this event is not a misfortune, but the bearing it courageously is a great felicity. ~ Marcus Aurelius
Strength Of Mind quotes by Marcus Aurelius
Have a purpose in life, and having it, throw into your work such strength of mind and muscle as God has given you. ~ Thomas Carlyle
Strength Of Mind quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Half the business of modern education is taken up in learning not to be ignorant; a process peculiarly unfavorable both to strength of mind and pregnancy of imagination ... ~ William Hazlitt
Strength Of Mind quotes by William Hazlitt
Meditation depends upon the strength of mind. It must be unceasing even when one is engaged in work. Particular time for it is meant for novices. ~ Ramana Maharshi
Strength Of Mind quotes by Ramana Maharshi
Remember, even that which seems impossible at first can be overcome by strength of mind and heart. ~ Natasha Ngan
Strength Of Mind quotes by Natasha Ngan
To be wiser than other men is to be honester than they; and strength of mind is only courage to see and speak the truth. ~ William Hazlitt
Strength Of Mind quotes by William Hazlitt
O God, You know me to be set in the midst of great peril. Grant me such strength of mind and body, that those evils which I suffer for my sins I may overcome through Thy assistance. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. ~ S.M. Stirling
Strength Of Mind quotes by S.M. Stirling
People are afraid to think, or they don't know how. They fail to realize that, while emotions can't be suppressed, the mind can be strengthened. All over the world people are seeking peace of mind, but there can be no peace of mind without strength of mind. ~ Eric Gutkind
Strength Of Mind quotes by Eric Gutkind
Now to act with integrity, according to that strength of mind and body with which our creator hath endowed each of use, appears necessary for all. ~ John Woolman
Strength Of Mind quotes by John Woolman
Fortitude implies a firmness and strength of mind, that enables us to do and suffer as we ought. It rises upon an opposition, and, like a river, swells the higher for having its course stopped. ~ Jeremy Collier
Strength Of Mind quotes by Jeremy Collier
Let her be loved not only for her beauty and amiable character, but also for her strength of mind and loftiness of purpose, which enliven and raise the feeble and the timid and ward off all vain thoughts. Let her be the pride of her country and let her command respect. ~ Jose Rizal
Strength Of Mind quotes by Jose Rizal
We all carry our sins with us. But the Lord wants to hear us say to him, "Forgive me, help me to walk, change my heart!" And the Lord can change your heart. In the Church, the God we encounter is not a merciless judge but is like the Father in the Gospel parable. You may be like the son who left home, who sank to the depths, farthest from the Gospel. When you have the strength to say, "I want to come home," you will find the door open. God will come to meet you because he is always waiting for you - God is always waiting for you. God embraces you, kisses you, and celebrates. That is how the Lord is, that is how the tenderness of our heavenly Father is. The Lord wants us to belong to a Church that knows how to open her arms and welcome everyone, that is not a house for the few, but a house for everyone, where all can be renewed, transformed, sanctified by his love - the strongest and the weakest, sinners, the indifferent, those who feel discouraged or lost. ~ Pope Francis
Strength Of Mind quotes by Pope Francis
Remember: solve one problem after another, correct one mistake after another. By no means should you do all things at the same time! Always start with what's most important, what's really urgent, and do not think about anything else until you've solved it. And then move on to what's next. Perhaps in the meantime you will think of a solution that hadn't crossed your mind before, right? ~ Biljana S. Crvenkovska
Strength Of Mind quotes by Biljana S. Crvenkovska
Age is a state of mind. Youth and age exist only among the ordinary people. All the more talented and exceptional of us; are sometimes old, just as we are sometimes happy, and sometimes sad. ~ Hermann Hesse
Strength Of Mind quotes by Hermann Hesse
If [his] peace of mind depended on me promising to be a sweet and careful little girl, he'd be smart to get used to chaos. ~ Sharon Green
Strength Of Mind quotes by Sharon Green
Shin-shin-toitsu-do includes a wide variety of stretching exercises, breathing methods, forms of seated meditation and moving meditation, massage-like healing arts, techniques of auto-suggestion, and mind and body coordination drills, as well as principles for the unification of
mind and body.

These principles of mind and body coordination are regarded as universal laws that express the workings of nature on human life. As such, they can be applied directly to an endless number of everyday activities and tasks. It is not uncommon when studying Japanese yoga to encounter classes and seminars that deal with the direct application of these universal principles to office work, sales, management, sports, art, music, public speaking, and a host of other topics.

How to use these precepts of mind and body integration to realize our full potential in any action is the goal. All drills, exercises, and practices of Shin-shin-toitsu-do are based on the same principles, thus linking intelligently a diversity of arts. But more than this, they serve as vehicles for grasping and cultivating the principles of mind and body coordination. And it is these principles that can be put to use directly, unobtrusively, and immediately in our daily lives. ~ H.E. Davey
Strength Of Mind quotes by H.E. Davey
The World is quick to label you, but it will take ages to take a stand! ~ Avijeet Das
Strength Of Mind quotes by Avijeet Das
Now. If any habits ever had time to fix upon her, they would have operated here. Habits are peculiar things. They will drive the really non-religious mind out of bed to say prayers that are only a custom and not a devotion. The victim of habit, when he has ~ Theodore Dreiser
Strength Of Mind quotes by Theodore Dreiser
The People are a capricious and stupid beast that doesn't know its own strength and bears burdens and blows with patience;... it knows not what fear it inspires, or that its masters have prepared a magic potion to stupefy it. What a fantastic situation! The People beating and tying itself up with its own hands; fighting and dying for a few pennies from the King,... totally unaware that everything between heaven and earth really belongs to it and stoning to death anyone who would remind it of its rights. ~ Tommaso Campanella
Strength Of Mind quotes by Tommaso Campanella
Advice is like snow; the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the mind. ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Strength Of Mind quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I very early caught on that the editor of Cincinnati Post had something specific in mind that he was looking for, and I tried to accommodate him in order to get published. I would turn out rough idea after rough idea, and he would veto eighty percent of them. I pretty much prostituted myself for six months but I couldn't please him, so he sent me packing. ~ Bill Watterson
Strength Of Mind quotes by Bill Watterson
If you believe that that the one opportunity you missed is the last one you'll ever get, then that is exactly what will happen: no more opportunities ever. ~ Stephen Richards
Strength Of Mind quotes by Stephen Richards
The new country lay open before me: there were no fences in those days, and I could choose my own way over the grass uplands, trusting the pony to get me home again. Sometimes I followed the sunflower-bordered roads. Fuchs told me that the sunflowers were introduced into that country by the Mormons; that at the time of the persecution when they left Missouri and struck out into the wilderness to find a place where they could worship God in their own way, the members of the first exploring party, crossing the plains to Utah, scattered sunflower seeds as they went. The next summer, when the long trains of wagons came through with all the women and children, they had a sunflower trail to follow. I believe that botanists do not confirm Jake's story but, insist that the sunflower was native to those plains. Nevertheless, that legend has stuck in my mind, and sunflower-bordered roads always seem to me the roads to freedom. ~ Willa Cather
Strength Of Mind quotes by Willa Cather
A richly detailed, poignant, and utterly fascinating look into another culture and how it is cross-pollinated by our own. It brings to mind the work of Ha Jin in its power and revelation of the new. ~ T.C. Boyle
Strength Of Mind quotes by T.C. Boyle
SELF-EXPRESSION
Do not acquire only money, authority, name, fame, comfort, and accomplishment at body-mind level. Attain the highest possibility of a human being. ~ Sirshree
Strength Of Mind quotes by Sirshree
Are you in love with him?"
"What?" I asked, and my heart dropped to my stomach. "Why would you ... " I wanted to argue, but the strength had gone out of my words.
"He's in love with you." He lifted his head and looked up at me. "Do you know that?"
"I-I don't know what you're talking about," I stammered. I walked over to the bed, needing to do something to busy myself, so I pulled up the sheets. "Loki is merely-"
"I see your auras," Tove interrupted me, his voice firm but not angry. "His is silver, and yours is gold. And when you're around each other, you both get a pink halo. Just now you were both glowing bright pink, and your auras intertwined. ~ Amanda Hocking
Strength Of Mind quotes by Amanda Hocking
Marriage is one of our most defining moments because so much is wrapped up in it. If building a career is like spending twelve hours at the blackjack table - seeing the cards as you make your decisions, playing each hand with current winnings in mind, having a new opportunity to take a chance or play it safe with every card dealt - then choosing a mate is like walking over to the roulette wheel and putting all your chips on red 32. ~ Meg Jay
Strength Of Mind quotes by Meg Jay
Be of one mind and one faith, that you may conquer your enemies and lead long and happy lives. ~ Genghis Khan
Strength Of Mind quotes by Genghis Khan
Most of what passes for legitimate entertainment is inferior or foolish and only caters to or exploits people's weaknesses. Avoid being one of the mob who indulges in such pastimes. Your life is too short and you have important things to do. Be discriminating about what images and ideas you permit into your mind. If you yourself don't choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will, and their motives may not be the highest. It is the easiest thing in the world to slide imperceptibly into vulgarity. But there's no need for that to happen if you determine not to waste your time and attention on mindless pap. ~ Epictetus
Strength Of Mind quotes by Epictetus
When we have fallen and need to get back up again, we are able to do it in His strength walking in His Spirit. Cling to the Spirit of Christ Jesus - He will never fail. ~ Monica Johnson
Strength Of Mind quotes by Monica Johnson
One cannot inquire into the foundations and nature of mathematics without delving into the question of the operations by which the mathematical activity of the mind is conducted. If one failed to take that into account, then one would be left studying only the language in which mathematics is represented rather than the essence of mathematics. ~ L. E. J. Brouwer
Strength Of Mind quotes by L. E. J. Brouwer
Western science has made nature intelligible in terms of its symmetries and regularities, analyzing its most wayward forms into components of a regular and measurable shape. As a result we tend to see nature and to deal with it as an "order" from which the element of spontaneity has been "screened out." But this order is maya, and the "true suchness" of things has nothing in common with the purely conceptual aridities of perfect squares, circles, or triangles - except by spontaneous accident. Yet this is why the Western mind is dismayed when ordered conceptions of of the universe break down. and when the basic behavior of the physical world is found to be a "principle of uncertainty. ~ Alan W. Watts
Strength Of Mind quotes by Alan W. Watts
The popular etymology of the word mantram gives us some clue what it means to have the holy name at work in our consciousness. It is said that mantram comes from the roots man, "the mind," and tri, "to cross." The mantram is that which enables us to cross the sea of the mind. The sea is a perfect symbol for the mind. It is in constant motion; there is calm one day and storm the next. ~ Eknath Easwaran
Strength Of Mind quotes by Eknath Easwaran
It is therefore necessary to prepare the imminent and inevitable identification of man with the motor, facilitating and perfecting an incessant exchange of intuition, rhythm, instinct and metallic discipline, quite utterly unknown to the majority of humanity and only divined by the most lucid mind. ~ Filippo Tommaso Marinetti
Strength Of Mind quotes by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti
The beauty of some women has days and seasons, depending upon accidents which diminish or increase it; nay, the very passions of the mind naturally improve or impair it, and very often utterly destroy it. ~ Miguel De Cervantes
Strength Of Mind quotes by Miguel De Cervantes
Our life is twofold; Sleep hath its own world, a boundary between the things misnamed Death and existence. Sleep hath its own world, and a wide realm of wild reality; and dreams in their development have breath, and tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy. They leave a weight upon our waking thoughts, they take a weight off our waking toils. They do divide our being; they become a portion of ourselves as of our time, and look like heralds of eternity. They pass like spirits of the past - they speak like sibyls of the future; they have power - the tyranny of pleasure and of pain. They make us what we were not - what they will, and shake us with the vision that's gone by, the dread of vanished shadows - Are they so? Is not the past all shadow? - What are they? Creations of the mind? - The mind can make substances, and people planets of their own, with beings brighter than have been, and give a breath to forms which can outlive all flesh. I would recall a vision which I dreamed, perchance in sleep - for in itself a thought, a slumbering thought, is capable of years, and curdles a long life into one hour. ~ Lord Byron
Strength Of Mind quotes by Lord Byron
The primary imagination I hold to be the living power and prime agent of all human perception, and as a repetition in the finite mind of the eternal act of creation in the infinite I Am. ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Strength Of Mind quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The Thorn of Istra, her mind supplied. That's the Thorn of Istra.
Lots. He's killed lots and lots and lots. ~ Holly Black
Strength Of Mind quotes by Holly Black
Sometimes both your mind and thoughts are paying the cost of your stupid heart. ~ M.F. Moonzajer
Strength Of Mind quotes by M.F. Moonzajer
Books are the training weights of the mind. ~ Epictetus
Strength Of Mind quotes by Epictetus
I prefer to surprise myself as I'm writing. I'm not interested in it if I already know where it's going. So I have only the most general sense of what I'm doing when I start a story. I sometimes have a destination in mind, but how the story is going to go from Point A to Point Z is something I make up as I go along. ~ Lois Lowry
Strength Of Mind quotes by Lois Lowry
So, you want to be in a relationship and you're tired of being single, right? But let me ask you an important question: Do you have a healthy relationship with yourself? I get it! Everybody wants to be in love and feel loved, but trust me, SELF-LOVE is far more important. How is YOUR mind, YOUR body, YOUR spirit? Listen, it's okay to be single! You may not want to be single, but sometimes it's best. Learn to commit to yourself, first. Be good to yourself, take care of yourself, and love yourself! You've got to like and love who YOU are before you can give your very best to that special someone. Don't be in a rush and don't be desperate. Work on yourself first and be at peace. ~ Stephanie Lahart
Strength Of Mind quotes by Stephanie Lahart
We are all divine spirits, helping others on conscious and unconscious levels. The past, present, and future exist simultaneously - all lives, all events have already occurred - leaving you with memories of illusions that you pluck from the recesses of your mind. You have reached enlightenment because you have never left it. So, you have the ability to act as an angel, reaching out to others, offering miracles and love, now. ~ Elizabeth M. Herrera
Strength Of Mind quotes by Elizabeth M. Herrera
When you've seen beyond yourself, then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there. ~ George Harrison
Strength Of Mind quotes by George Harrison
I'm the opposite of someone like David Grossman, who knows how his characters walk, and how they smell. I don't allow myself to imagine what mine look like at all. My sense of them comes from the inside. They remain, by necessity, physically vague in my mind. ~ Nicole Krauss
Strength Of Mind quotes by Nicole Krauss
