The Real is ever-present, like the screen on which the cinematographic pictures move. While the picture appears on it, the screen remains invisible. Stop the picture, and the screen will become clear. All thoughts and events are merely pictures moving on the screen of Pure Consciousness, which alone is real.
~ Ramana Maharshi
Not fighting, avoiding talking to fans... that's when the thoughts creep in about retiring and moving on to something else.
~ Andre Ward
No one can occupy your generosity except you. Who can occupy your patience when impatience roars through you? Who except you can choose not to act with judgment when all of your thoughts are judgmental? Your life is yours to live, no matter how you choose to live it. When you do not think about how you intend to live it, it lives you.
~ Gary Zukav
The slave is doomed to worship time and fate and death, because they are greater than anything he finds in himself, and because all his thoughts are of things which they devour.
~ Bertrand Russell
The poet does not fear death, not because he believes in the fantasy of heroes, but because death constantly visits his thoughts and is thus an image of a serene dialogue.
~ Salvatore Quasimodo
Music is gathering. Taking our scattered thoughts and senses and coalescing us back into our core. Music is powerful. The first few chords can change us where no self-help books can.
~ Jane Siberry
Everyone has noticed how hard it is to turn our thoughts to God when everything is going well with us... While what we call 'our own life' remains agreeable, we will not surrender it to Him. What, then, can God do in our interests but make 'our own life' less agreeable to us, and take away the plausible sources of false happiness?
~ C. S. Lewis
I wish I could throw off the thoughts which poison my happiness, but I take a kind of pleasure in indulging them.
~ Frédéric Chopin
Only man clogs his happiness with care, destroying what is with thoughts of what may be.
~ John Dryden
Some people keep God in a Sunday morning box and say, 'Hey, I did my religious duty.' That's fine, but the scripture says to pray without ceasing. And I think that means all through the day you're talking to God. Even if it's in your thoughts.
~ Joel Osteen
I'm the guy that gets up at three in the morning to jot down an entire sheet of lyrics for something that won't be recorded for six months. You have to get it down when you can, because thoughts are fluid.
~ Corey Taylor
One morning, in February 1986, out of nowhere, I experienced a realization. In an instant, I discovered that when I believed my stressful thoughts, I suffered, but when I questioned them, I didn't suffer.
~ Byron Katie
All intelligent thoughts have already been thought what is necessary is only to try to think them again.
~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Many can argue that it is our power of intelligence that is the key to the human domination of our planet. I suggest that it is the ability to put our thoughts into words that can be communicated to others.
~ Yehuda Berg
No one knows when a robot will approach human intelligence, but I suspect it will be late in the 21st century. Will they be dangerous? Possibly. So I suggest we put a chip in their brain to shut them off if they have murderous thoughts.
~ Michio Kaku
I'm pro-WWE, but also I maintain my independence and speak my true thoughts, never bashing the product. But yes, I can be critical. I've earned the right to be critical.
~ Stone Cold Steve Austin
On this day, so full for Americans of thoughts connected with their National Independence, we may not forget that Americans have yet other grounds for gratitude to the people of the Netherlands.
~ Seth Low
It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato.
~ Lewis Grizzard
There are two books that I often travel with; one is 'The Theory on Moral Sentiments' by Adam Smith. The other is 'The Meditations.' It's not that I agree with either views expressed in the books, but I believe ideas and thoughts of older generations can offer food for thought for the current generation.
~ Wen Jiabao
Although even when I am being idle I have plenty of food for thought both early and late - thoughts both about and not about art.
~ Gustav Klimt
To a mind like mine, restless, inquisitive, and observant of everything that was passing, it is easy to suppose that religion was the subject to which it would be directed; and, although this subject principally occupied my thoughts, there was nothing that I saw or heard of to which my attention was not directed.
~ Nat Turner
We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; in feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.
~ Aristotle
An important part of dating is communicating. We communicate by sharing our thoughts, ideas, and feelings. We enjoy being with someone when we have an easy time communicating or when we have a lot to talk about.
~ John Bytheway
Women say they have sexual thoughts too. They have no idea. It's the difference between shooting a bullet and throwing it. If they knew what we were really thinking, they'd never stop slapping us.
~ Larry Miller
In matters of conscience, first thoughts are best. In matters of prudence, last thoughts are best.
~ Robert Hall
Our best thoughts come from others.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thinking good thoughts is not enough, doing good deeds is not enough, seeing others follow your good examples is enough.

~ James Allen
It takes but one positive thought when given a chance to survive and thrive to overpower an entire army of negative thoughts.
~ Robert H. Schuller
With physical prep work, you know if you go to the gym, you will get size. There's no chance it won't happen. The emotional prep work is a variable. You could step onto the set one day and have a disconnect with your thoughts and feelings and have a rough day acting because you can't quite tap into what you need.
~ Chris Evans
Chance gives rise to thoughts, and chance removes them; no art can keep or acquire them.
~ Blaise Pascal
God doesn't dwell in the wooden, stony or earthen idols. His abode is in our feelings, our thoughts.
~ Chanakya
Great thoughts and a pure heart, that is what we should ask from God.
The man who sows wrong thoughts and deeds and prays that God will bless him is in the position of a farmer who, having sown tares, asks God to bring forth for him a harvest of wheat.
However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.
~ John Calvin
I want to know all Gods thoughts all the rest are just details.
~ Albert Einstein
The ideas of science germinate in a matrix of established knowledge gained by experiment; they are not lonesome thoughts, born in a rarified realm where no researcher has ever gone before.
~ Seth Shostak
Yes, I've been trepanned. That's quite an interesting experience, especially for my brain surgeon, who saw my thoughts flying around in my brain.
