Gradual growth in grace, growth in knowledge, growth in faith, growth in love, growth in holiness, growth in humility, growth in spiritual-mindedness – all this I see clearly taught and urged in Scripture, and clearly exemplified in the lives of many of God’s saints. But sudden, instantaneous leaps from conversion to consecration I fail to see in the Bible.

This is the unstable, mob-minded mass, which sits on the fence, ever ready to fall this side or that and indecorously clamber back again; which puts a Democratic administration into office one election, and a Republican the next; which discovers and.

Such words he spoke, but they are not his words. He was a vulgar, low-minded man, and vile oaths fell continually from his lips.

A novel is a conversation between the writer and the reader, a meeting of minds across time and space

I don’t think I would have minded you being the keeper of my secrets.

Unbind your mind, there is no time

Live the full life of the mind, exhilarated by new ideas, intoxicated by the Romance of the unusual.

Only superficial minds approach an idea with delicacy.

Beware of thinkers whose minds function only when they are fueled by a quotation.

Never to have occasion to take a position, to make up one’s mind, or to define oneself – there is no wish I make more often.

Be tough minded but tenderhearted.

Ladies grab your fellas and let’s do this right If you’re on one like me in mind

God never measures the mind… He always put His tape measure in the HEART

The noble-minded are calm and steady. Little people are forever fussing and fretting.

The essence of the independent mind lies not in what it thinks, but in how it thinks

Courage consists not in hazarding without fear; but being resolutely minded in a just cause.

The single minded ones, the monomaniacs, are the only true achievers.

I’ve got mad energy for days. That’s what people can’t get their minds around. They say, ‘Oh, he’s going to crash.’ They try to apply all these common terms to a guy who is not common. I don’t fit into their little box.

People ask all the time, “What are you thinking?” It’s my least favorite question in the world. The last bastion of solace is my mind. It’s an invasion.

Some lose all mind and become soul,insane. some lose all soul and become mind, intellectual. some lose both and become accepted

Our knowledge of circumstances has increased, but our uncertainty, instead of having diminished, has only increased. The reason of this is, that we do not gain all our experience at once, but by degrees; so our determinations continue to be assailed incessantly by fresh experience; and the mind, if we may use the expression, must always be under arms.

In war, where imperfect intelligence, the threat of a catastrophe, and the number of accidents are incomparably greater than any other human endeavor, the amount of missed opportunities, so to speak, is therefore bound to be greater.

Everything is mediated through the mind—translated, filtered, allegorized, twisted, even falsified by it. We are enveloped in a cloud of changing and endlessly shifting images

Went from makin’ tuna sandwiches to makin’ the news. I started speakin’ my mind and tripled my views.

Mind precedes all mental states. Mind is their chief; they are all mind-wrought.

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.

A mind unruffled by the vagaries of fortune, from sorrow freed, from defilements cleansed, from fear liberated — this is the greatest blessing.

Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves.

It shows how much you can touch people, and as much as you can try to give those people somehow it is nothing compared to what they live in their own mind, in their dreams, for you

Power-lust is a weed that grows only in the vacant lots of an abandoned mind

Rest, let your body relax and grow. Work up gradually and don’t blow it. Sometimes you can do so much your mind gets sick of it. Remember what I said earlier. Keep your mind hungry. People have a tendency to overdo things at first and then slack off.

Some people are so heavenly minded that they are no earthly good.

Minds are not conquered by force, but by love and high-mindedness.
