The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than with their minds. ~ Will Durant
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Will Durant
If you lose the power to laugh, you lose the power to think. ~ Clarence Darrow
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Clarence Darrow
No amount of energy will take the place of thought. A strenuous life with its eyes shut is a kind of wild insanity. ~ Henry Van Dyke
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Henry Van Dyke
Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason so few engage in it. ~ Henry Ford
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Henry Ford
The thoughts that come often unsought, and, as it were, drop into the mind, are commonly the most valuable of any we have. ~ John Locke
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by John Locke
No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking. ~ Voltaire
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Voltaire
What I love about the ministry of Jesus is that he identified the poor as blessed and the rich as needy ... and then he went and ministered to them both. This, I think, is the difference between charity and justice. Justice means moving beyond the dichotomy between those who need and those who supply and confronting the frightening and beautiful reality that we desperately need one another. ~ Rachel Held Evans
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Rachel Held Evans
People often think the question of non-resistance to evil by force
is a theoretical one, which can be neglected. Yet this question
is presented by life itself to all men, and calls for some answer
from every thinking man. Ever since Christianity has been
outwardly professed, this question is for men in their social life
like the question which presents itself to a traveler when the
road on which he has been journeying divides into two branches.
He must go on and he cannot say: I will not think about it, but
will go on just as I did before. There was one road, now there
are two, and he must make his choice. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Leo Tolstoy
It might have helped us considerably to have been shown, perhaps through some simple exercises in elementary school, that we are not our thoughts, that we can watch them come and go and learn not to cling to them or run after them. Even if we didn't understand it at the time, it would have been helpful just to hear it. Likewise, it would have been helpful to know that the breath is an ally, that it leads to calmness just by watching it. Or that it is okay to just be, that we don't have to run around all the time doing or striving or competing in order to feel that we have an identity - that we are fundamentally whole as we are. We ~ Jon Kabat-Zinn
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Jon Kabat-Zinn
Even as the angry vengeful thoughts boiled through me, I saw the sin of them. Jesus Christ had died for this man; was I going to ask for more? Lord Jesus, I prayed, forgive me and help me to forgive him ... Jesus, I cannot forgive him. Give me your forgiveness ... And so I discovered that it is not on our forgiveness any more than on our goodness that the world's healing hinges, but on His. When He tells us to love our enemies, He gives along with the command, the love itself. ~ Corrie Ten Boom
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Corrie Ten Boom
There was a new feature in Pierre's relations with Willarski, with the princess, with the doctor, and with all the people he now met, which gained for him the general goodwill. This was his acknowledgement of the impossibility of changing a man's convictions by words, and his recognition of the possibility of everyone thinking, feeling, and seeing things each from his own point of view. This legitimate peculiarity of each individual, which used to excite and irritate Pierre, now became a basis of the sympathy he felt for, and the interest he took in, other people. The difference, and sometimes complete contradiction, between men's opinions and their lives, and between one man and another, pleased him and evoked from him an amused and gentle smile. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Leo Tolstoy
It's very inconvenient because every time I finish, let's say, a chapter of a book, I think I'm going to ring Richard and then realize: Oh, Christ, I've buried him. I buried him last year. ~ Peter O'Toole
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Peter O'Toole
Gazing over the holy sites in Jerusalem, Obama wrote these words: From the promenade above Jerusalem, I looked down at the Old City, the Dome of the Rock, the Western Wall, and the Holy Sepulcher, considered the two thousand years of war and rumors of war that this small plot of land had come to represent, and pondered the possible futility of believing that this conflict might someday end in our lifetime, or that America, for all its power, might have any lasting say over the course of the world. I don't linger on such thoughts, though - they are the thoughts of an old man. A young man, too. ~ Mark Landler
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Mark Landler
When you concentrate your energy purposely on the future possibility that you aspire to realize, your energy is passed on to it and makes it attracted to you with a force stronger than the one you directed towards it. ~ Stephen Richards
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Stephen Richards
I've always been terrified about being bored. I always think being bored is the worst thing. The only strategic decision I ever made as an actor was to try and make each job as different as possible. ~ Alfred Molina
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Alfred Molina
We had something real," Nobley said, starting to sound a little desperate. "You must have felt it, seeping through the costumes and pretenses."
The brunette nodded.
"Seeping through the pretenses? Listen to him, he's still acting." Martin turned to the brunette in search of an ally.
"Do I detect any jealousy there, my flagpole-like friend?" Nobley said. "Still upset that you weren't cast as a gentleman? You do make a very good gardener."
Martin took a swing. Nobley ducked and rammed into his body, pushing them both to the ground. The brunette squealed and bounced on the balls of her feet.
"Stop it!" Jane pulled at Nobley, then slipped. He put out an arm and caught her midfall across her middle.
"Here, let me…" Nobley tried to give her a hand up and push Martin away at the same time.
"Get off me," Martin said. "I'll help her."
He kicked Nobley in the rear, followed by some swatting of hands. Jane planted her feet, grabbed Nobley's arm, and pulled him off. Martin was still swiping at Nobley from the ground. Nobley's cap fell off, then his trench coat twisted up around Martin, who batted at it crazily.
"Cut it out!" Jane said, pushing Nobley back and putting herself between them. She felt more like a teacher stopping a schoolboy scuffle than an ingénue with two brawling beaus.
"M-m-martin's gay!" Nobley said.
"I am not! You're thinking of Edgar."
"Who the hell is Edgar?"
"You know, that other gardener who always sm ~ Shannon Hale
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Shannon Hale
Conservation of thoughts are valid in classical, relativistic, and quantum theory. Symmetries and conservation of thoughts are the two fundamentals laws of ancient mantra systems. ~ Amit Ray
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Amit Ray
I briefly entertained the notion that I was insane and didn't know it. Then I considered the possibility that I had always been insane, acknowledged it as more likely than the former, then pushed both thoughts from my mind.. ~ Patrick Rothfuss
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
Introverts are collectors of thoughts, and solitude is where the collection is curated and rearranged to make sense of the present and future. ~ Laurie A. Helgoe
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Laurie A. Helgoe
I think I'm a very kindhearted person, I don't like to hurt people's feelings. If I do, it's not intentionally and I feel a lot of people nowadays have lost that. ~ Selena
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Selena
The best ideas come as jokes. Make your thinking as funny as possible. ~ David Ogilvy
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by David Ogilvy
I'm operating in the gap between the trajectory of modernity and the trajectory of modernism. So what people think is design is not design, it's my attempt to engage with the trajectory of modernity. ~ Liam Gillick
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Liam Gillick
Someday, when I'm awfully low, and the world is cold, I will feel a glow just thinking of you, and the way you look tonight. ~ Tony Bennett
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Tony Bennett
My thought is me: that's why I can't stop. I exist because I think ... and I can't stop myself from thinking. At this very moment - it's frightful - if I exist, it is because I am horrified at existing. I am the one who pulls myself from the nothingness to which I aspire. ~ Jean-Paul Sartre
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings
always darker, emptier and simpler. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
And I find chopsticks frankly distressing. Am I alone in thinking it odd that a people ingenious enough to invent paper, gunpowder, kites and any number of other useful objects, and who have a noble history extending back 3,000 years haven't yet worked out that a pair of knitting needles is no way to capture food? ~ Bill Bryson
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Bill Bryson
When a writer has deep thoughts, I expect him to also have a deep voice. And if he doesn't, he should remain silent and let his writer's voice do all the speaking for him. ~ Jarod Kintz
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Jarod Kintz
I need to stop thinking about how people see me and figure out who I am. Faking it isn't working. We should focus on being happy....Just happy. ~ Bijou Hunter
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Bijou Hunter
I typically don't use the distinction 'positive' and 'negative' liberty, because negative sounds bad and positive sounds good, and I don't think that the terminology ought to prejudice us one way or the other. So I think the more descriptive term is 'liberty rights' versus 'welfare rights'. So, liberty rights are freedom-of-action type rights, and welfare rights are rights-to-stuff, of various kinds ... And, property rights are not rights-to-stuff. I think that's one of the key misunderstandings about property. Property rights are the rights to liberty within your jurisdiction. ~ Randy Barnett
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Randy Barnett
[Arab peoples] are stuck back thousands of years and they think they're going to get out with a TV set. ~ William S. Burroughs
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by William S. Burroughs
To my way of thinking, the slavery issue is just an excuse to allow some people to do hateful things and feel righteous about it. ~ Joan Lowery Nixon
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Joan Lowery Nixon
The State of the Union has become, under presidents of both parties, a political pep rally degrading to everyone. The judiciary and uniformed military should never attend. And Congress, by hosting a spectacle so monarchical in structure (which is why Thomas Jefferson sent his thoughts to Congress in writing) deepens the diminishment of the legislative branch as a mostly reactive servant of an overbearing executive. ~ George F. Will
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by George F. Will
What do you think spies are: priests, saints, and martyrs? They're a squalid procession of vain fools, traitors too, yes; pansies, sadists, and drunkards, people who play cowboys and Indians to brighten their rotten lives. Do you think they sit like monks in London balancing the rights and wrongs? ~ John Le Carre
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by John Le Carre
Purity is something that can be consciously developed. Expect to have impure moments, thoughts, and ideas. One day they will go away, and then there will be happiness. ~ Frederick Lenz
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Frederick Lenz
The first-cause and prime-mover argument, brilliantly proffered by St. Thomas Aquinas in the fourteenth century (and brilliantly refuted by David Hume in the eighteenth century), is easily turned aside with just one more question: Who or what caused and moved God? ~ Michael Shermer
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Michael Shermer
Whether or not belive in Fate comes down to one thing: who you blame when something goes wrong. Do you think it's your fault - that if you'd tried better, worked harder, it wouldn't have happened? Or do you just chalk it up to circumstance?
I know poeple who'll hear about the people who died, and will say that it was God's will. I know people who'll say it was bad luck. And then there's my personal favorite: They were just in the wrong place at hte wrong time.
Then again, you could say the same thing about me, couldn't you? ~ Jodi Picoult
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Jodi Picoult
No one escapes that moment of innocence when the world attacks him and installs within him the spirit of opposites ... As long as everything within you is saying yes and no, dark and light, with big earth-shaking ideas, you come nowhere near art, I think. Light and dark don't exist for us as artists. Light is something given to you and you're allowing it to pass through. ~ Milton Resnick
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Milton Resnick
In somber mood, I re-called my whole life up to this day, and my head spun with the buzzing of a hundred and one ouroboristic worms. I remembered the drinking parties that made us thirsty and the thirst that made us drink; I thought back to Sidonius recounting his endless dream; to the people who worked to be able to eat and who ate to have the strength to work; to the black thoughts I drowned with such sadness in the cask and which were reborn in different hues. Between the vicious circles of the drinking party and those of the delusory paradises, I would never again be able to choose, I could no longer be part of their revolutions, I was from that moment no more than a wasteland. ~ Rene Daumal
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Rene Daumal
The lottery question might get you thinking about what you would do if talent and money didn't matter. But they do. The question twentysomethings need to ask themselves is what they would do with their lives if they didn't win the lottery. ~ Meg Jay
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Meg Jay
I am committed now to one thing: lyric sequences. I want the intensity of lyric, but the scope and arc of narrative. so, I think I'll just write sequences for the foreseeable (the Beloved sequence doesn't have a 'plot' so I can just keep adding poems to it, it's like a giant bag I can just put beloved lyrics into - I think there are about 300 of them i've published by now). ~ Gregory Orr
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Gregory Orr
The soft moonlight,
The shimmering sky,
The rays of the moon, and
Bunch of sparkling stars. ~ Jyoti Patel
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Jyoti Patel
At my age, one should be aware of one's limits, and this knowledge may make for happiness. When I was young, I thought of literature as a game of skillful and surprising variations; now that I have found my own voice, I feel that tinkering and tampering neither greatly improve nor greatly spoil my drafts. This, of course, is a sin against one of the main tendencies of letters in this century--the vanity of overwriting-- ... I suppose my best work is over. This gives me a certain quiet satisfaction and ease. And yet I do not feel I have written myself out. In a way, youthfulness seems closer to me today than when I was a young man. I no longer regard happiness as unattainable; once, long ago, I did. Now I know that it may occur at any moment but that it should never be sought after. As to failure or fame, they are quite irrelevant and I never bother about them. What I'm out for now is peace, the enjoyment of thinking and of friendship, and, though it may be too ambitious, a sense of loving and of being loved. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
Thanks to the human heart by which we live,
Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and its fears,
To me the meanest flower that blows can give
Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears. ~ William Wordsworth
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by William Wordsworth
I don't ever want to humiliate a human being, and I don't want the fear of being humiliated to participate in my thoughts. ~ Caroline Myss
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Caroline Myss
The problem is that when you're not fighting for survival, it's easy to stop making decisions and fall into the trap of thinking you don't have to. Ambivalence is a luxury; thinking you can have it both ways is virtually synonymous with being spoiled. ~ Ben Ryder Howe
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Ben Ryder Howe
I think what we have seen in terms of gay teenagers committing suicide because of bullying is anguishing. I think young people, if they are feeling like they are confused, need to know that there are people to talk to and that there are places they can go and not feel alone. But I feel that they have just as many rights as I do to not be bullied. ~ Kevin Spacey
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Kevin Spacey
I think you've got to take the risks. There's no point playing it safe, because either you'll get bored or the audiences will get bored. Sometimes, you're going to make mistakes, and that's fine, but you have to take the risks. I think Pirates is one of the prime examples of that with Johnny Depp's performance, and part of the reason that people love it so much is that you watch it and go, "Gutsy, really gutsy!" ~ Keira Knightley
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Keira Knightley
You are a result of your thoughts, not your circumstances. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Thoughts And Thinking quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
That's how I always try to start my thoughts. I write them down first, eventually it turns into a poem, and if I feel like composing something to it, then I do that. ~ Benjamin Clementine
