To strengthen the connection between your conscious mind and your subconscious mind is to gain access to a map and compass to help you move towards your dream. To gain access to the subconscious mind is to gain the ability to see and create the future, the ability to shift the present, and the ability to alter your own perceptions of the past. ~ Kevin Michel
The Power Of Thought quotes by Kevin Michel
I've spent quality time in the aerospace community, with my service on two presidential commissions, but at heart, I'm an academic. Being an academic means I don't wield power over person, place or thing. I don't command armies; I don't lead labor unions. All I have is the power of thought. ~ Neil DeGrasse Tyson
The Power Of Thought quotes by Neil DeGrasse Tyson
The greatest force is derived from the power of thought. The finer the element, the more powerful it is. The silent power of thought influences people even at a distance, because mind is one as well as many. The universe is a cobweb; minds are spiders. ~ Swami Vivekananda
The Power Of Thought quotes by Swami Vivekananda
To understand karma, you must realize that thoughts are things. The very universe…is composed not of matter but of consciousness. Matter responds, far more than most people realize, to the power of thought. For will power directs energy, and energy in turn acts upon matter. Matter, indeed, is energy. ~ Paramahansa Yoganandamahansa Yogananda
The Power Of Thought quotes by Paramahansa Yoganandamahansa Yogananda
The constant steaming in of thoughts of others must suppress and confine our own and indeed in the long run paralyze the power of thought ... The inclination of most scholars is a kind of fuga vacui ( latin for vacuum suction )from the poverty of their own mind , which forcibly draws in the thoughts of others ... It is dangerous to read about a subject before we have thought about it ourselves ... When we read, another person thinks for us; merely repeat his mental process. So it comes about that if anybody spends almost the whole day in reading, he gradually loses the capacity for thinking. Experience of the world may be looked upon as a kind of text, to which reflection and knowledge form the commentary. Where there is a great deal of reflection and intellectual knowledge and very little experience , the result is like those books which have on each page two lines of text to forty lines of commentary ~ Will Durant
The Power Of Thought quotes by Will Durant
The power of thought, of idea, is incommensurable, is immeasurable. The world is dominated by thought. ~ Emile Coue
The Power Of Thought quotes by Emile Coue
it is of the highest concernment that care should be taken of its conduct is a moderate statement. While the power of thought frees us from servile subjection to instinct, appetite, and routine, it also brings with it the occasion and possibility of error and mistake. In elevating us above the brute, it opens to us the possibility of failures to which the animal, limited to instinct, cannot sink. ~ John Dewey
The Power Of Thought quotes by John Dewey
The length of time that the thought is held has also much to do with its accomplishment, for the thought-vibrations have to be active for a certain time to bring about a certain result. A certain length of time is required for the baking of a cake; if it is hurried the cake will be uncooked; with too great a heat it will burn. If the operator of the mental vibrations lacks patience then the power of thought will be wasted, even if it were half-way to its destiny, or still nearer to a successful issue. If too great a power of thought is given to the accomplishment of a certain thing it destroys while preparing it. ~ Hazrat Inayat Khan
The Power Of Thought quotes by Hazrat Inayat Khan
The power of thought is the magic of the mind. ~ George Gordon Byron
The Power Of Thought quotes by George Gordon Byron
I am afflicted with the power of thought, which is a heavy curse. The less a person thinks and inquires regarding the why and the wherefore and the justice of things, when dragging along through life, the happier it is for him, and doubly, trebly so, for her. ~ Miles Franklin
The Power Of Thought quotes by Miles Franklin
Men take on the nature and the habits and the power of thought of those with whom they associate in a spirit of sympathy and harmony. ~ Napoleon Hill
The Power Of Thought quotes by Napoleon Hill
The power of thought, the vast regions it can master. ~ Bertrand Russell
The Power Of Thought quotes by Bertrand Russell
A human being - what is a human being? Everything and nothing. Through the power of thought it can mirror everything it experiences. Through memory and knowledge it becomes a microcosm, carrying the world within itself. A mirror of things, a mirror of facts. Each human being becomes a little universe within the universe! ~ Guy De Maupassant
The Power Of Thought quotes by Guy De Maupassant
I have just taught you the most important lesson about the power of thought,' replied Raman. 'When you want something, concentrate only on that: no one will ever hit a target they cannot see. ~ Paulo Coelho
The Power Of Thought quotes by Paulo Coelho
One thing is certain: The power of belief, the power of thought, will move reality in the direction of what we believe and conceive of it. If you really believe you can do something, you can. This is a fact. When you clearly envision a victorious outcome, engrave it in your heart and are firmly convinced that you will attain it, your brain makes every effort to realize the mental image you have created. And then, through your unceasing efforts, that victory is finally made a reality. ~ Daisaku Ikeda
The Power Of Thought quotes by Daisaku Ikeda
People do lie to themselves, and they get away with it because every action affirms and reaffirms their perception. That's the power of the human mind. that's the power of thought, which is nothing more- and nothing less- than energy. And when you have a particularly powerful mind, extraordinary things can happen. ~ Vicki Pettersson
The Power Of Thought quotes by Vicki Pettersson
The power of thought is not a compelling force. It is a building force, and it is only when used in the latter sense that desirable results can be produced. ~ Christian D. Larson
The Power Of Thought quotes by Christian D. Larson
I believe that a person's thoughts often manifest into actual events - that we think things into existence. Right? Well, think about this: one of the illnesses that has become an epidemic in the Western world is an addiction to news. Newspapers, Internet news, 24-hour news channels. And what is news? News is history in the making. So the addiction to news is the addiction to the outcome of history. Are you with me so far?'
'I get it. Go on.'
'In the past couple of decades, news has been produced as entertainment. So people's addiction to news is the addiction to its function as entertainment. If you combine the power of thought with this addiction to entertaining news, then the part of the hundreds of millions of people, the viewing public, that wishes peace on earth is overshadowed by the part of them that wants the next chapter in the story. Every person who turns on the news and finds there's no developments is disappointed. They're checking the news two or three times a day - they want drama, and drama means not only death but death by the thousands, so in the secrets parts of themselves, every news-addicted person is hoping for greater calamity, more bodies, more spectacular wars, more hideous enemy attacks, and these wishes are going out every day into the world. Don't you see? Right now, more than at any other time in history, the universal wish is a black one. ~ Steve Toltz
The Power Of Thought quotes by Steve Toltz
Human potential is the same for all. Your feeling, "I am of no value", is wrong. Absolutely wrong. You are deceiving yourself. We all have the power of thought- so what are you lacking? If you have willpower, then you can change anything. It is usually said that you are your own master. ~ Dalai Lama
The Power Of Thought quotes by Dalai Lama
One thing is certain: That is that the power of belief, the power of thought, will move reality in the direction of what we believe and conceive of it. If you really believe you can do something, you can. That is a fact. ~ Daisaku Ikeda
The Power Of Thought quotes by Daisaku Ikeda
It is the power of thought that gives man power over nature. ~ Hans Christian Andersen
The Power Of Thought quotes by Hans Christian Andersen
Sogol's aim was to measure the power of thought as an absolute value.
"This power," said Sogol, "is arithmetical. In fact, all thought is a capacity to grasp the divisions of a whole. Now, numbers are nothing but the divisions of the unity, that is, the divisions of absolutely any whole. In myself and others, I began to observe how many numbers a man can really conceive, that is, how many he can represent to himself without breaking them up or jotting them down: how many successive consequences of a principle he can grasp at once, instantaneously; how many inclusions of species as kind; how many relations of cause and effect, of ends to means; and I never found a number higher than four. And yet, this number four corresponded to an exceptional mental effort, which I obtained only rarely. The thought of an idiot stopped at one, and the ordinary thought of most people goes up to two, sometimes three, very rarely to four. ~ Rene Daumal
The Power Of Thought quotes by Rene Daumal
All feelings derive and become alive, whether negative or positive, from the power of Thought ~ Sydney Banks
The Power Of Thought quotes by Sydney Banks
Here even the various mind-pleasing blossoming flowers, and attractive shining supreme golden houses, have no inherently existent maker at all. They are set up through the power of thought. Through the power of conceptuality the world is established ~ Gautama Buddha
The Power Of Thought quotes by Gautama Buddha
The power of thought is far greater than most people ever realize. ~ Karen Marie Moning
The Power Of Thought quotes by Karen Marie Moning
Every human being has the same potential. Whatever makes you feel "I am worthless" is wrong. Absolutely wrong. You are deceiving yourself. We all have the power of thought, so what could you possibly be lacking? If you have the willpower, then you can do anything. ~ Dalai Lama XIV
The Power Of Thought quotes by Dalai Lama XIV
The power of thought is the light of knowledge, the power of will is the energy of character, the power of heart is love. Reason, love and power of will are perfections of man. ~ Ludwig Feuerbach
The Power Of Thought quotes by Ludwig Feuerbach
Tyranny is always and everywhere the same, while freedom is always various. The well and truly enslaved are dependable; we know what they will say and think and do. The free are quirky. Tyrannies may be overt and violent or covert and insidious, but they all require the same thing, a subject population in which the power of the word is dulled and, thus, the power of thought occluded and the power of deed brought low. ~ Richard Mitchell
The Power Of Thought quotes by Richard Mitchell
I hope any poem I've ever written could stand on its own and not need to be a part of biography, critical theory or cultural studies. I don't want to give a poetry reading and have to provide the story behind the poem in order for it to make sense to an audience. I certainly don't want the poem to require a critical intermediary - a "spokescritic." I want my poems to be independently meaningful moments of power for a good reader. And that's the expectation I initially bring to other poets' writing. ~ Albert Goldbarth
The Power Of Thought quotes by Albert Goldbarth
There's a great power of imagination about these little creatures, and a creative fancy and belief that is very curious to watch ... I am sure that horrid matter-of-fact child-rearers ... do away with the child's most beautiful privilege. I am determined that Anny shall have a very extensive and instructive store of learning in Tom Thumbs, Jack-the-Giant-Killers, etc. ~ William Makepeace Thackeray
The Power Of Thought quotes by William Makepeace Thackeray
In the act of balancing, we come alive. Sensations change moment by moment; sometimes we feel secure, sometimes precarious. In the long run we develop tolerance for instability. As we come to accept this insecurity as the norm, as our home ground, it becomes familiar and less frightening. We can stop trying to flee from the wobble. And sometimes this sense of being off balance is exhilarating and reminds us of the impermanence and fragility of life, nudging us to appreciate each imperfect, teetering moment we are alive. Perhaps, like surfers, we can come to feel the power of the waves, the majesty of the elements, and a sense of our own place in this swirling universe. ~ Patricia Ryan Madson
The Power Of Thought quotes by Patricia Ryan Madson
A study of interactions between women and obstetricians offers an explanation. It described three levels of increasing power imbalance: In the first, you fight and lose; in the second you don't fight because you know you can't win. However, in the highest level of power differential, your preferences are so manipulated that you act against your own interests, but you are content. Elective [meaning requested for no medical reason, not to be confused with needed surgery planned in advance] repeat cesarean exemplifies that highest level. ~ Henci Goer
The Power Of Thought quotes by Henci Goer
The big powers are traveling on the dangerous road of armament. The signpost just ahead of us is 'Oblivion.' Can the march on this road be stopped? Yes, if public opinion uses the power it now has. ~ Sean MacBride
The Power Of Thought quotes by Sean MacBride
What we will criticize 'modern' eroticism for is its lack of genuine sensuality, a sensuality which implies beauty or charm, passion or modesty, power over the object of desire, and fulfilment. ~ Henri Lefebvre
The Power Of Thought quotes by Henri Lefebvre
Christ makes Heaven the standard for God's will be done on Earth. What a high ideal is this! What power it would take to bring such a thing about! Nothing short of the Kingdom of God pulling down strongholds, overthrowing bastions of deeply entrenched sin, and then conquering this present world in such a way as to establish righteousness – nothing short of such things as these can meet the standard that Christ sets before us. ~ Geoff Banister
The Power Of Thought quotes by Geoff Banister
The man [who] is greatest and most blessed and joyful [is one] whose life most closely approaches the pattern of Christ. This has nothing to do with earthly wealth, power, or prestige. The only true test of greatness, blessedness, joyfulness is how close can a life come to being like the Master, Jesus Christ. He is the right way, the full truth, and the abundant life. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
The Power Of Thought quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
Darwin's work is a testament to the power of two of the most basic tools used in research, the pencil and paper. ~ Robert Mark Silverman And Kelly L. Patterson
The Power Of Thought quotes by Robert Mark Silverman And Kelly L. Patterson
truths are illusions about which one has forgotten that this is what they are; metaphors which are worn out and without sensuous power; coins which have lost their pictures and now matter only as metal, no longer as coins. We still do not know where the urge for truth comes from; for as yet we have heard only of the obligation imposed by society that it should exist: to be truthful means using the customary metaphors - in moral terms: the obligation to lie according to a fixed convention, to lie herd-like in a style obligatory for all. . . . ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
The Power Of Thought quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Narcissists are neither carefree nor innocent. They have learned to play the power game, to seduce and to manipulate. They are always thinking about how people see and respond to them. And they must stay in control because loss of control evokes their fear of insanity. ~ Alexander Lowen
The Power Of Thought quotes by Alexander Lowen
There is a difference between the inmates of your criminal prisons and the inmates of your cultural prison: The former understand that the distribution of wealth and power inside the prison had nothing to do with justice. ~ Daniel Quinn
The Power Of Thought quotes by Daniel Quinn
Oh, these men of former times knew how to dream and did not find it necessary to go to sleep first. And we men of today still master this art all too well, despite all of our good will toward the day and staying awake. It is quite enough to love, to hate, to desire, simply to feel
and right away the spirit and power of the dream overcome us, and with our eyes open, coldly contemptuous of all danger, we climb up on the most hazardous paths to scale the roofs and spires of fantasy
without any sense of dizziness, as if we had been born to climb, we somnambulists of the day! We artists! We ignore what is natural. We are moonstruck and God-struck. We wander, still as death, unwearied, on heights that we do not see as heights but as plains, as our safety. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
The Power Of Thought quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
When we believe that God hears us, it is but natural that we should be eager to hear Him. Only from Him can come the word which can speak peace to troubled spirits; the voices of men are feeble in such a case, a plaster far too narrow for the sore; but God's voice is power, He speaks and it is done, and hence when we hear Him our distress is ended. ~ Charles Spurgeon
The Power Of Thought quotes by Charles Spurgeon
This I have observed: There are no language barriers in the Church. There is a mighty power that transcends the power of messages conveyed by words alone, and this is the power of messages communicated by the Spirit to our hearts. ~ Joseph B. Wirthlin
The Power Of Thought quotes by Joseph B. Wirthlin
It's unbelievable really, the reviving power of a hot bath, a cup of tea and a roaring fire. ~ M.A. Bennett
The Power Of Thought quotes by M.A. Bennett
Inevitably they find their way into the forest. It is there that they lose and find themselves. It is there that they gain a sense of what is to be done. The forest is always large, immense, great and mysterious. No one ever gains power over the forest, but the forest posses the power to change lives and alter destinies. ~ Jack D. Zipes
The Power Of Thought quotes by Jack D. Zipes
The writer must be able to revel and roll in the abundance of words; he must know not only the direct but also the secret power of a word. There are overtones and undertones to a word, and lateral echoes, too. ~ Knut Hamsun
The Power Of Thought quotes by Knut Hamsun
Let us put the normal divisions of politics aside. Let us come together as one country; let us seize this historic moment to shift the balance of power from the corridors of Westminster to the streets and communities of Scotland. ~ Nicola Sturgeon
The Power Of Thought quotes by Nicola Sturgeon
My passion is to open people's eyes to the sea using the power of photography as a universal language to convince the unconvinced among us that the oceans are fragile and finite. ~ David Doubilet
The Power Of Thought quotes by David Doubilet
The power of a smile is such that even drawing a happy face on a piece of paper makes your lips turn up. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
The Power Of Thought quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
Naive inflationism demands an increase in the quantity of money without suspecting that this will diminish the purchasing power of the money. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
The Power Of Thought quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
In art, the Trinity is expressed in the Creative Idea, the Creative Energy, and the Creative Power - the first imagining of the work, then the making incarnate of the work, and third the meaning of the work. ~ Dorothy L. Sayers
The Power Of Thought quotes by Dorothy L. Sayers
Durga wore a simple sea-green dress and a lei of lotus flowers ... "Take this," it has no special power except that the blooms will not fade, but it will serve a purpose on your voyage. I want you to learn the lesson of the lotus. This flower springs forth from muddy waters. It raises its delicate petals to the sun and perfumes the world while, at the same time, its roots cling to the elemental muck, the very essence of the mortal experience. Without that soil, the flower would wither and die." She placed the lei over my neck. "Dig down and grow strong roots, my daughter, for you will stretch forth, break out of the waters and find peace on the calm surface at last. You will discover that if you hadn't stretched, you would have drowned in the deep, never to blossom or share your gift with others. ~ Colleen Houck
The Power Of Thought quotes by Colleen Houck
Democracy has become, unless I mistake, a kind of test or shibboleth, by which we try men and measures; and this is the same as to say that it is merely a word which is powerful with us, and not the wide and true notion of what the word means. But we must define the true import of words, and not be slaves to syllables; for democracy in form is not necessarily people-power in fact, but power perhaps of a few, who cajole the many and so lead and use the people for their own ends. ~ James Vila Blake
The Power Of Thought quotes by James Vila Blake
The statement by Peter was very serious. He and his brethren were challenging the rule of Rome and their hirelings. Most scholars miss this point because they are convinced that the Jesus movement had no connections to the Fourth Philosophy. This proves the power of this Acts' passage. ~ Daniel T. Unterbrink
The Power Of Thought quotes by Daniel T. Unterbrink
Inside of you, there is the power to change your world. ~ Avina Celeste
The Power Of Thought quotes by Avina Celeste
Life is a hard fight, a struggle, a wrestling with the principle of evil, hand to hand, foot to foot. Every inch of the way is disputed. The night is given us to take breath, to pray, to drink deep at the fountain of power. The day, to use the strength which has been given us, to go forth to work with it till the evening. ~ Florence Nightingale
The Power Of Thought quotes by Florence Nightingale
In spite of the deep-seated craving for love, almost everything else is considered to be more important than love: success, prestige, money, power-almost all our energy is used for the learning of how to achieve these aims, and almost none to learn the art of loving.
Could it be that only those things are considered worthy of being learned with which one can earn money or prestige, and that love, which "only" profits the soul, but is profitless in the modern sense, is a luxury we have no right to spend energy on? ~ Erich Fromm
The Power Of Thought quotes by Erich Fromm
The church of Jesus Christ is not necessarily present when there is a correct administration of the sacrament and faithful preaching of the Word of God. The church of God is present where people gather together in the power of the resurrected life of Jesus Christ. It is possible to have the administration of the sacraments and the preaching of the Word of God and to have it be simply a human exercise. And the misunderstanding of the church in this respect is one of the things that create a primary problem for the integration of theology and spirituality. Because, as was emphasized yesterday, a bad theology will kill any prospects of a spirituality that comes from life in Christ. ~ Dallas Willard
The Power Of Thought quotes by Dallas Willard
Consequently, as Samuel Chase pointed out in the Maryland ratifying convention, the states would end up "without power, or respect and despised - they will sink into nothing, and be absorbed in the general government." Some Federalists actually hoped for this to happen - for the states eventually to be reduced to mere administrative units of the national government. ~ Gordon S. Wood
The Power Of Thought quotes by Gordon S. Wood
Sometimes people feel they need to control everything, as if they could! Matters of life and death are out of your hands. The more you come to realize this, the harder you try to prove that you can control SOMETHING, anything. All you can really control is your response to what happens. You cannot control matters of life or death and because of this you are not accountable. You cannot be held liable for anything that you have no power over. Guilt, shame and blame make no sense when circumstances are beyond your control. ~ Kate McGahan
The Power Of Thought quotes by Kate McGahan
In The Bloudy Tenent, Williams points out that Constantine "did more to hurt Christ Jesus than the raging fury of the most bloody Neroes." at least under the Christian persecutor Nero, who was rumored to have had the Apostle Paul beheaded and Saint Peter crucified upside down, Christianity was a pure (if hazardous) way of life. But when Constantine himself converted to Christianity, that's when the Church was corrupted and perverted by the state. Williams explains that under Constantine, "the gardens of Christ's churches turned into the wildernesss of national religion, and the world (under Constantine's dominion) to the most unchristian Christendom." Legalizing, legitimizing the Church turned Christianity into just another branch of government enforced by "the sword of civil power," i.e., through state-sponsored violence. ~ Sarah Vowell
The Power Of Thought quotes by Sarah Vowell
You are either in a state of perfection or a state of learning. Reading is one of the best ways to learn about our lives and purpose! ~ Cupideros
The Power Of Thought quotes by Cupideros
We can try to act civilized and polite, but at the bottom of it all, the power of any ruler is based on a threat. Fortunately, we don't have to carry that threat out too often. ~ David Eddings
The Power Of Thought quotes by David Eddings
Modest, conventional expectations weren't enough to lure Adam Brown away from the power of drug addiction that ensnared him. Instead, the college dropout already in his mid-twenties found only the big, near-impossible dream of being a Navy SEAL captivating enough to consistently draw him to different choices. ~ Eric Blehm
The Power Of Thought quotes by Eric Blehm
I am not suggesting that every one in ancient Egypt was altruistic, any more than are all the people in modern England. But I do say that the country was permeated with joy and fearlessness so far as its religious ideas were concerned, and that every one who by any stretch of courtesy could be described as a religious man was occupied not with thoughts of his personal salvation, but with the desire to be a useful agent of the divine Power. ~ Charles W. Leadbeater
The Power Of Thought quotes by Charles W. Leadbeater
Virtue is the strength and power of the daughters of God. ~ Elaine S. Dalton
The Power Of Thought quotes by Elaine S. Dalton
When lions paint pictures men will not always be represented as conquerors. When women translate laws, constitutions, bibles and philosophies, man will not always be the declared heard of the church, the state, and the home. ~ Elizabeth Cady Stanton
The Power Of Thought quotes by Elizabeth Cady Stanton
The future of computer power is pure simplicity. ~ Douglas Adams
The Power Of Thought quotes by Douglas Adams
Fear is what created the monster in the room, and in order to overcome the many problems and enslavements that we have today, it is not about getting rid of the monster, but about getting rid of the fear. ~ Evita Ochel
The Power Of Thought quotes by Evita Ochel
The Overhead bears the most powerful Healers in Heaven," Mother began softly. "The Healers - or Guardian Angels, as we were once known as - are given the most power from the sun. Our powers to heal others come from the light and good of the earth - it is what enables us to wake in the morning. ~ Barbara C. Doyle
The Power Of Thought quotes by Barbara C. Doyle
...it is imperative to understand how civility, decorum, manners and the like are used to uphold authority...and that we are urged to acqquiesce as a form of maintaining that authority. Whether we are urged to be civil to racists or polite to patriarchy, the goal is the same: to maintain the power of the racist, to maintain the power of the patriarchy. ~ Mona Eltahawy
The Power Of Thought quotes by Mona Eltahawy
Imagine a being like nature, wasteful beyond measure, indifferent beyond measure, without mercy and justice, fertile and desolate and uncertain at the same time; imagine indifference itself as a power, how could you live according to this indifference? Living, is that not precisely wanting to be different? And supposing your imperative 'live according to nature' meant at bottom as much as 'live according to life', how could you not do that? Why make a principle of what you yourselves are and must be? ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
The Power Of Thought quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
