Lulled in the countless chambers of the brain, our thoughts are linked by many a hidden chain; awake but one, and in, what myriads rise!
Alexander Pope quote on thoughts
Wicked thoughts and worthless efforts gradually set their mark on the face, especially the eyes.
Arthur Schopenhauer | Thought
Nothing is further from the spirit of the sages than the idea of an autonomy of thinking, a humanism of the good life; in short, of a wisdom in the Stoic or Epicurean mode founded on the self-sufficiency of thought.
Paul Ricoeur | Autonomy, Thought, Humanism
There is nothing so unthinkable as thought, unless it be the entire absence of thought.
Samuel Butler – Thought
It is our less conscious thoughts and our less conscious actions which mainly mould our lives and the lives of those who spring from us.
Samuel Butler – Action, Thought
People care more about being thought to have taste than about being thought either good, clever or amiable.
Samuel Butler – Thought, Taste
When I am attacked by gloomy thoughts, nothing helps me so much as running to my books. They quickly absorb me and banish the clouds from my mind.
Michel de Montaigne – Gloomy thoughts
Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so, too.
Voltaire – Thought
They use thought only to justify their injustices, and speech only to disguise their thoughts.
Voltaire – Thought, Speech
How can they expect a harvest of thought who have not had the seed time of character.
Henry David Thoreau – Thought, Character
Each thought that is welcomed and recorded is a nest egg by the side of which more will be laid.
Henry David Thoreau – Thought
Nothing has any power over me other than that which I give it through my conscious thoughts.
Anthony Robbins – Conscious Thoughts
The thought is a deed. Of all deeds she fertilizes the world most.
Emile Zola – Thought
The primary cause of unhappiness is not the situation, but your thoughts about it. Be aware of the thoughts you are thinking. Separate them from the situation, which is always neutral, which always is as it is.
Eckhart Tolle – Unhappiness
You may not yet be able to bring your unconscious mind activity into awareness as thoughts, but it will always be reflected in the body as an emotion, and of this you can become aware.
