The Mind Quotes

Human life is so full of pain, that once past the youthful delusion that a sad countenance is interesting, and an incurable woe the most delightful thing possible, the mind instinctively turns where it can get rest, and cheer and sunshine. And the friend who can bring to it the largest portion of these is, of a natural necessity, the most useful, the most welcome, and the most dear Picture Quote #1

To trace the history of a river or a raindrop is also to trace the history of the soul, the history of the mind descending and arising in the body.

To trace the history of a river... is to trace the history of the soul, the history of the mind descending and arising in the body Picture Quote #1

For the sensory thinker, the world of the mind bears a direct physical resemblance to the world outside Picture Quote #1

One of the first lessons one learns is that the mind is a powerful factor in everything you do, including those exercises that seem to require a maximum of physical strength Picture Quote #1

Stress is something that’s created in the mind, basically. It’s how we look at things. So ovr greatest defense against stress is the ability to change ovr minds; to change ovr thinking Picture Quote #1

There are strange moments in life when the mind rests without any kind of worries. When our mind is quiet, when our mind is in silence, then the new arrives Picture Quote #1

For me war has become a flat, black depression without highlights, a revulsion of the mind and an exhaustion of the spirit Picture Quote #1

Without inspiration the best powers of the mind remain dormant. There is a fuel in us which needs to be ignited with sparks Picture Quote #1

The mind is perhaps one of the greatest factors in gymnastics; if one can’t control his mind, he can’t control his body Picture Quote #1

The mind, if slackened even a little, will cause defeat, the same as fearing the opponent will make you unable to use full strength Picture Quote #1

Authentic happiness is not linked to an activity; it is a state of being, a profound emotional balance struck by a subtle understanding of how the mind functions Picture Quote #1

There are in the human mind a group of faculties and in the brain groups of convolutions, and the facts assembled by science so far allow to state, as I said before, that the great regions of the mind correspond to the great regions of the brain Picture Quote #1

I remember the days of my youth when everything was new and bright; when the mind was always questing, searching, absorbing; when the pain of love was so acute it could suffocate, and the days when joy was delirious Picture Quote #1

When the mind is full of memories and preoccupied by the future, it misses the freshness of the present moment. In this way, we fail to recognize the luminous simplicity of mind that is always present behind the veils of thought Picture Quote #1

The cloud represents the creative power of the mind, which can assume any imaginable form. It is the ideal medium of creation for the enlightened mind, which manifests itself on the plane of timeless meditative vision Picture Quote #1

I understood that our entire universe is contained in the mind and the spirit. We may choose not to find access to it, we may even deny its existence, but it is indeed there inside us, and there are chemicals that can analyze its availability Picture Quote #1

The first stage of this tranquility consists in silencing the lips when the heart is excited. The second, in silencing the mind when the soul is still excited. The goal is a perfect peacefulness even in the middle of the raging storm Picture Quote #1

Integrating the mind is the essence of life. Decide you will always say and do only what you feel is right. Then, you will come to tremendous clarity and conviction in the inner and outer worlds Picture Quote #1

Nature is a vast tablet, inscribed with signs, each of which has its own significancy, and becomes poetry in the mind when read; and geology is simply the key by which myriads of these signs, hitherto indecipherable, can be unlocked and perused, and thus a new province added to the poetical domain Picture Quote #1

The world little knows how many of the thoughts and theories which have passed through the mind of a scientific investigator, have been crushed in silence and secrecy by his own severe criticism and adverse examination! Picture Quote #1

It is worth noting that the notation facilitates discovery. This, in a most wonderful way, reduces the mind’s labour Picture Quote #1

The great experimental principle, then, is doubt, that philosophic doubt which leaves to the mind its freedom and initiative, and from which the virtues most valuable to investigators in physiology and medicine are derived Picture Quote #1

In meditation take care not to impose anything on the mind, or to tax it. When you meditate there should be no effort to control, and no attempt to be peaceful. Don’t be overly solemn or feel that you are taking part in some special ritual; let go even of the idea that you are meditating. Let your body remain as it is, your breath as you find it, and remain in your natural condition of unchanging pure awareness Picture Quote #1

Devote the mind to confusion and we know only too well, if we´re honest, that it will become a dark master of confusion, adept in its addictions, subtle and perversely supple in its slaveries. Devote it in meditation to the task of freeing itself from illusion, and we will find that, with time, patience, discipline, and the right training, our mind will begin to unknot itself and know its essential bliss and clarity Picture Quote #1
