Text Quotes
Require nothing unreasonable of your officers and men, but see that whatever is required be punctually complied with. Reward and punish every man according to his merit, without partiality or prejudice; hear his complaints; if well founded, redress them; if otherwise, discourage them, in order to prevent frivolous ones. Discourage vice in every shape, and impress upon the mind of every man, from the first to the lowest, the importance of the cause, and what it is they are contending for  (The Mind Quotes) The truth of life lies in the impulsiveness of matter. The mind of man has been poisoned by concepts. Do not ask him to be content, ask him only to be calm, to believe that he has found his place. But only the madman is really calm  (The Mind Quotes) It is painful to comprehend how the mind becomes fixed little by little as time goes by. The mind is the executioner of reality, the slayer of the true; the mind is the destroyer of love  (The Mind Quotes) We are all the subjects of impressions, and some of use seek to convey the impressions to others. In the art of communicating impressions lies the power of generalizing without losing that logical connection of parts to the whole which satisfies the mind  (The Mind Quotes) Whenever a man denounces the mind, it is because his goal is of a nature the mind would not permit him to confess  (The Mind Quotes) If there are degrees of evil, it is hard to say who is more contemptible: the brute who assumes the right to force the mind of others or the moral degenerate who grants to others the right to force his mind  (The Mind Quotes) An attempt to gain a value by deceiving the mind of others is an act of raising your victims to a position higher than reality  (The Mind Quotes) Engineering stimulates the mind. Kids get bored easily. They have got to get out and get their hands dirty: make things, dismantle things, fix things. When the schools can offer that, you’ll have an engineer for life  (The Mind Quotes) The decision as to when to photograph, the actual click of the shutter, is partly controlled from the outside, by the flow of life, but it also comes from the mind and the heart of the artist. The photograph is his vision of the world and expresses, however subtly, his values and convictions  (The Mind Quotes) I just think I’m better equipped to make a study of human personality than trying to get into the mind of animals  (The Mind Quotes) If you use your mind to study reality, you won’t understand either your mind or reality. If you study reality without using your mind, you’ll understand both.... The mind and the world are opposites, and vision arises where they meet. When your mind doesn’t stir inside, the world doesn’t arise outside. When the world and the mind are both transparent, this is true vision. And such understanding is true understanding  (The Mind Quotes) Not thinking about anything is zen. Once you know this, walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, everything you do is zen. To know that the mind is empty is to see the buddha... Using the mind to reality is delusion. Not using the mind to look for reality is awareness. Freeing oneself from words is liberation  (The Mind Quotes) If you see your nature, you don’t need to read sutras or invoke buddhas. Erudition and knowledge are not only useless but also cloud your awareness. Doctrines are only for pointing to the mind. Once you see your mind, why pay attention to doctrines?  (The Mind Quotes) The mind’s capacity is limitless, and its manifestations are inexhaustible. Seeing forms with your eyes, hearing sounds with your ears, smelling odors with your nose, tasting flavors with your tongue, every movement or state is all your mind  (The Mind Quotes) Being present. The mind is like a butterfly that flits from one flower to the next. Seldom do we find ourselves nestled in the excuisite and eternal ocean of here and now. When you are, you can connect with your true self that is beyond the chattering of your mind. When you take the effort to focus your drifting consciousness to become fully awake to the present moment, you will discover the glorious light that dwells within you  (The Mind Quotes) In a swamp, as in meditation, you begin to glimpse how elusive, how inherently insubstantial, how fleeting our thoughts are, our identities. There is magic in this moist world, in how the mind lets go, slips into sleepy water, circles and nuzzles the banks of palmetto and wild iris, how it seeps across dreams, smears them into the upright world, rots the wood of treasure chests, welcomes the body home  (The Mind Quotes) To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men, their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism and religious dogmas  (The Mind Quotes) People are afraid to think, or they don’t know how. They fail to realize that, while emotions can’t be suppressed, the mind can be strengthened. All over the world people are seeking peace of mind, but there can be no peace of mind without strength of mind  (The Mind Quotes) Good character consists of knowing the good, desiring the good, and doing the good habits of the mind, habits of the heart, and habits of action  (The Mind Quotes) Focus on one point and hold your attention there. The mind will waiver, you’ll think a million thoughts, but each time you do, bring your mind back to the point of concentration, seeing it visually  (The Mind Quotes) Sight is not absolutely essential in this process, but we use sight because it is the dominant sense. It’s easiest to interrupt the flow of thought in sense perception and move the mind beyond sense perception with sight  (The Mind Quotes) If you keep focusing, gradually thoughts will become quieter and quieter, gradually the images will disappear from the mind. What is happening is the kundalini energy begins to radiate and rise, it causes the mind to be quiet  (The Mind Quotes) It takes a number of years to learn to hold the mind perfectly in one place. But each day we do it a little better, and in the doing we’re releasing energy that is taking our mind in higher diffuse planes of attention  (The Mind Quotes) By disciplining and training the mind to focus on one thing, we gain control of perception; we learn to grab it and put it someplace we want it to be  (The Mind Quotes) The mind must be made calm and still. Then it is aimed at the sky, at the brightness, at that infinitude of being that stretches out endlessly in every direction forever  (The Mind Quotes) Cry to God. If you do that just for a couple minutes with your whole being, just like a child who so badly wants a cookie. You will break through the barrier of the mind  (The Mind Quotes) The practice of meditation is emptying the mind. When the mind is empty, completely empty, it’s perfect meditation. It’s really that simple  (The Mind Quotes) In the beginning, when you are meditating, just ignore thought. Shine it on. Then after you are comfortable sitting there, try selectively eliminating negative thoughts, thoughts that agitate the mind  (The Mind Quotes) Your mind is turbulent because you’re filled with desires, frustrations. You want too many things. You are afraid of too many things. It is necessary to overcome both attraction and repulsion to still the mind  (The Mind Quotes) Mindfulness is when you are engaged in activities but the mind is set into the meditative state all the time. Meditation is to be aware of many different levels. It’s not just the absence of thought  (The Mind Quotes)
