All grand thoughts come from the heart. Vauvenargues A man is infinitely more complicated than his thoughts. Paul Valery French critic & poet (1871 - 1945) However mean your life is, meet it and live it: do not shun it and call it hard names. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Things do not change, we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. God will see that you do want society. Henry David Thoreau US Transcendentalist author (1817 - 1862) God is a thing that thinks. Benedict Spinoza The spirit of the age is filled with the disdain for thinking. Albert Schweitzer French philosopher & physician (1875 - 1965) A committee is a cul-de-sac down which ideas are lured and then quietly strangled. Sir Barnett Cocks (1907 - 1989) Thinking is the talking of the soul with itself. Plato Greek author & philosopher in Athens (427 BC - 347 BC) All great discoveries are made by men whose feelings run ahead of their thinking. C. H. Parkhurst Avoid destructive thinking. Improper negative thoughts sink people. A ship can sail around the world many, many times, but just let enough water get into the ship and it will sink. Just so with the human mind. Let enough negative thoughts or improper thoughts get into the human mind and the person sinks just like a ship. Alfred A. Montapert 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. And since the only real freedom a person has is the choice of what thoughts he will feed to his Inner-Consciousness he is totally responsible for the outcomes he gets. Sidney Madwed |
