Albert Einstein

“We can experience the world through our senses. Or we can remove ourselves from our senses and experience the world even less directly. We can think about our life, rather than thinking in our life. We can think about what we think about our life, and we can think about what we think about that.”

John Emerick

“What your heart thinks is great, is great. The soul's emphasis is always right.”

“The thoughts that come often unsought, and, as it were, drop into the mind, are commonly the most valuable of any we have, and therefore should be secured, because they seldom return again.”

John Locke

“Like success, failure is many things to many people. With positive mental attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order and prepare to try again.”

W. Clement Stone

“As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.”

Henry David Thoreau

“It's the questions we cant answer that teach us the most. They teach us how to think. If you give a man an answer, all he learns is a little fact. But give him a question and he'll look for his own answers.”

Patrik Rothfuss

“The mind, which sometimes presumes to believe that there is no such thing as a mircale, is itself a miracle.”

Scott Peck
