Nurture your minds with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes.
Benjamin Disraeli

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

I remain convinced that obstinate addiction to ordinary language in our private thoughts is one of the main obstacles to progress in philosophy.
Bertrand Russell

Indignation is a submission of our thoughts, but not of our desires.
Bertrand Russell

Truth lives, in fact, for the most part on a credit system. Our thoughts and beliefs pass, so long as nothing challenges them, just as bank-notes pass so long as nobody refuses them.
William James

Those thoughts are truth which guide us to beneficial interaction with sensible particulars as they occur, whether they copy these in advance or not.
William James

The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts.
James Joyce

A fat stomach never breeds fine thoughts.
St. Jerome

To be free from evil thoughts is God's best gift.
Aeschylus

The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out.
Dee Hock

One thing above all gives charm to men's thoughts, and this is unrest. A mind that is not uneasy irritates and bores me.
Anatole France

I do not have the answers and as a woman I do not intend to play my own thoughts over the truth. I can clearly state the problems and tell you that I suffer from them.
Lynette Fromme

Theology made no provision for evolution. The biblical authors had missed the most important revelation of all! Could it be that they were not really privy to the thoughts of God?
E. O. Wilson

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.
John Burroughs

Names are what people sometimes use to excuse their thoughts and actions towards you.
Simon Travaglia

The secret thoughts of a man run over all things, holy, profane, clean, obscene, grave, and light, without shame or blame.
Thomas Hobbes

Sometimes when I'm talking, my words can't keep up with my thoughts. I wonder why we think faster than we speak. Probably so we can think twice.
Bill Watterson

A man's real life is that accorded to him in the thoughts of other men by reason of respect or natural love.
Joseph Conrad

He that has light within his own clear breast May sit in the centre, and enjoy bright day: But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts Benighted walks under the mid-day sun; Himself his own dungeon.
John Milton

I never ask a man what his business is, for it never interests me. What I ask him about are his thoughts and dreams.
H. P. Lovecraft
