The Mind Quotes

I surrender myself to everything. I love, I feel pain, I struggle. The world seems to me wider than the mind, my heart a dark and almighty mystery Picture Quote #1

Astronomy is one of the sublimest fields of human investigation. The mind that grasps its facts and principles receives something of the enlargement and grandeur belonging to the science itself. It is a quickener of devotion Picture Quote #1

Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes. Genuine ignorance is profitable because it is likely to be accompanied by humility, curiosity, and open mindedness; whereas ability to repeat catch phrases, cant terms, familiar propositions, gives the conceit of learning and coats the mind with varnish waterproof to new ideas Picture Quote #1

It is not so much tutoring that the minds needs, but clearer recognition and better use of what it already knows Picture Quote #1

All the romance of trout fishing exists in the mind of the angler and is in no way shared by the fish Picture Quote #1

One doesn't bother to believe the credible: the credible is believed already, by definition. There's no adventure of the mind Picture Quote #1

Words do two major things: They provide food for the mind and create light for understanding and awareness Picture Quote #1

It is requisite for the relaxation of the mind that we make use, from time to time, of playful deeds and jokes Picture Quote #1

You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor Picture Quote #1

ESSAY - a loose sally of the mind; an irregular indigested piece; not a regular and orderly composition Picture Quote #1

The essence of idolatry is the entertainment of thoughts about God that are unworthy of Him. It begins in the mind and may be present where no overt act of worship has taken place Picture Quote #1

If we insist upon trying to imagine Him, we end with an idol, made not with hands but with thoughts; and an idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hand Picture Quote #1

I had found by experience that putting things down on paper helped to clear the mind in precisely the same way, as Mrs. Mullet had taught me, that an eggshell clarifies the consommé or the coffee, which, of course, is a simple matter of chemistry. The albumin contained in the eggshell has the property of collecting and binding the rubbish that floats in the dark liquid, which can then be removed and discarded in a single reeking clot: a perfect description of the writing process Picture Quote #1

The gospel can lift this destroying burden from the mind, give beauty for ashes, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. But unless the weight of the burden is felt the gospel can mean nothing to the man; and until he sees a vision of God high and lifted up, there will be no woe and no burden. Low views of God destroy the gospel for all who hold them Picture Quote #1

The heart's fierce effort to protect itself from every slight, to shield its touchy honor from the bad opinion of friend and enemy, will never let the mind have rest Picture Quote #1

Failure concentrates the mind wonderfully. If you don't make mistakes, you're not trying hard enough Picture Quote #1

The mind can go in a thousand directions, but on this beautiful path, I walk in peace. With each step, the wind blows. With each step, a flower blooms Picture Quote #1

Behaviorism is indeed a kind of flat - Earth view of the mind... It has substituted for the erstwhile anthropomorphic view of the rat, a ratomorphic view of man Picture Quote #1

The slanders of the pen pierce to the heart; they rankle longest in the noblest spirits; they dwell ever present in the mind and render it morbidly sensitive to the most trifling collision Picture Quote #1

A judgment about life has no meaning except the truth of the one who speaks last, and the mind is at ease only at the moment when everyone is shouting at once and no one can hear a thing Picture Quote #1

When we talk about understanding, surely it takes place only when the mind listens completely - the mind being your heart, your nerves, your ears - when you give your whole attention to it Picture Quote #1

Fear is the destructive energy in man. It withers the mind, it distorts thought, it leads to all kinds of extraordinarily clever and subtle theories, absurd superstitions, dogmas, and beliefs Picture Quote #1

How fleet is a glance of the mind! Compared with the speed of its flight, the tempest itself lags behind, and the swift winged arrows of light Picture Quote #1

When the mind is creating troubles, it's time to come back to the body and the serenity of the present moment Picture Quote #1

There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought Picture Quote #1

If the Devil says you cannot pray when you are angry, tell him it is none of his business, and pray until that species of insanity is dispelled and serenity is restored to the mind Picture Quote #1

Usually when I go to a place for the first time, unless there's something historical or spectacular that nature has to offer, the first thing I like to do is see what's on the minds of the people Picture Quote #1

Poets are masters of us ordinary men, in knowledge of the mind, because they drink at streams which we have not yet made accessible to science Picture Quote #1

Feeling depressed after a loss is one thing, but feeling depressed about nothing, about life in general, is another thing altogether. The minds of the everlasting gods are not changed suddenly Picture Quote #1
