Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think.
Benjamin Disraeli
If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without them knowing it.
Edward Bernays
Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keep friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment.
Greenville Kleisser
One must learn to forgive and not to hold a hostile, bitter attitude of mind, which offends those about us and prevents us from enjoying ourselves; one must recognize human shortcomings and adjust himself to them rather than to be constantly finding fault with them.
Napolon Bonaparte
The mind is the reality. You are what you think.
Alfred Bester
When plugged in, the least elaborate computer can be relied on to work to the fullest extent of its capacity. The greatest mind cannot be relied on for the simplest thing; its variability is its superiority.
Jacques Barzun
The exact measure of the progress of civilization is the degree in which the intelligence of the common mind has prevailed over wealth and brute force.
George Bancroft
Progress of mankind is progress of mind and intellect.
Pandurang Shastri Vaijnath Athavale
Mind is infinite and self-ruled, and is mixed with nothing, but is alone itself by itself.
Anaxagoras
Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all, heavenly environment; of these, if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built.
James Allen
The mind of a wise man is the safest custody of secrets; cheerfulness is the key to friendship; patience and forbearance will conceal many defects.
Ali bin Abu-Talib
As a person thinks, feels, and believes, so is the condition of his or her mind, body, and circumstances.
Joseph Murphy
Hope is a state of mind independent of the state of the world. If your heart's full of hope, you can be persistent when you can't be optimistic. You can keep the faith despite the evidence, knowing that only in so doing has the evidence any chance of changing. So while I'm not optimistic, I'm always very hopeful.
William Sloane Coffin
The mutual confidence on which all else depends can be maintained only by an open mind and a brave reliance upon free discussion.
Billings Learned Hand
