The closed mind, if closed long enough, can be opened by nothing short of dynamite.
Gerald W. Johnson
If goodness were only a theory, it were a pity it should be lost to the world. There are a number of things, the idea of which is a clear gain to the mind. Let people, for instance, rail at friendship, genius, freedom, as long as they will --the very names of these despised qualities are better than anything else that could be substituted for them, and embalm even the most envenomed satire against them.
William Hazlitt
Total loyalty is possible only when fidelity is emptied of all concrete content, from which changes of mind might naturally arise.
Hannah Arendt
Seduce my mind and you can have my body, Find my soul and I'm yours forever.

Wonder is not a Pollyanna stance, not a denial of reality; wonder is an acknowledgment of the power of the mind to transform.
Christina Baldwin
The strong man is the one who is able to intercept at will the communication between the senses and the mind.
Napoleon Bonaparte
To the extent that the judicial profession becomes the daily routine of deciding cases on the most secure precedents and the narrowest grounds available, the judicial mind atrophies and its perspective shrinks.
Irving R. Kaufman
When I think of your kisses my mind see-saws
Joni Mitchell
What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind.
Buddha

Seneca
Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Revenge is always the weak pleasure of a little and narrow mind.
Juvenal
The mind messes up more shots than the body
Tommy Bolt
We speak of eyeball-to-eyeball encounters between men great and small. Even more reaching and revealing of character is the eyeball-to-golfball confrontation, whereby our most secret natures are mercilessly tested by a small, round, whitish object with no mind or will but with a very definite life of its own, and with whims perverse and beatific
