It is by translating your fine sense of aspiration into actual lofty deeds that you grow toward your ideal. Link your lofty thoughts to earnest, active effort, and good results will inevitably follow. The great things you intend to do some time must have a beginning if they are ever to be done, so begin something worthwhile today.
Grenville Kleiser
Skeptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep thoughts can be winnowed from deep nonsense.
Carl Sagan
Thoughts lead on to purpose, purpose leads onto actions, actions form habits, habits decide character, and character fixes our destiny.
Tyron Edwards
These thoughts did not come in any verbal formulation. I rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express it in words afterward.
Albert Einstein
There are weapons that are simply thoughts. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy.
Rod Serling
Poetry should please by a fine excess and not by singularity. It should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost as a remembrance.
John Keats
Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet. It's a way of entering into the quiet that's already thereóburied under the 50,000 thoughts the average person thinks every day
Deepak Chopra
In the beginning you will fall into the gaps in between thoughts - after practicing for years, you become the gap.
J.Kleykamp
Nurture your mind with great thoughts; to believe in the heroic makes heroes
Benjamin Disraeli
The color, the grace and levitation, the structural pattern in motion, the quick interplay of live beings, suspended like fitful lightning in a cloud, these things are the play, not words on paper, nor thoughts and ideas of an author, those shabby things snatched off basement counters at Gimbel's.
TENNESSEE WILLIAMS
Words are the dress of thoughts; which should no more be presented in rags, tatters, and dirt than your person should
Lord Chesterfield
Words without thoughts never to heaven go.
William Shakespeare
One of the disadvantages of wine is that it makes a man mistake words for thoughts.
Dr Samuel Johnson
