I thought you were the ghost of yourself

Damn, cold world. I never thought I’d see the day that you’re my old girl.

You are perfect exactly as you are. With all your flaws and problems, there’s no need to change anything. All you need to change is the thought that you aren’t good enough.

Govern thy life and thy thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one, and read the other

I do think, however, that there’s a very diverse point of view in the African-American community. There’s a lot of different voices that need to be heard. I don’t claim and pretend to know the thoughts and opinions and ideas of all African-Americans.

There are eternal consequences resulting from all our thoughts, words and actions, of which we take far too little account.

Often I have thought of the day when I gazed for the first time at the sea.
The sea is vast, the sea is wide, my eyes roved far and wide and longed to be
free. But there was the horizon. Why a horizon, when I wanted the infinite
from life?

Never make an intimate friend of anyone who is not a friend of God.

To be born again is, as it were, to enter upon a new existence, to have a new mind, a new heart, new views, new principles, new tastes, new affections, new likings, new dislikings, new fears, new joys, new sorrows, new love to things once hated, new hatred to things once loved, new thoughts of God, and ourselves, and the world, and the life to come, and salvation.

Guard your thoughts, and there will be little fear about your actions.

Young men, I beseech you earnestly, beware of pride. Two things are said to be very rare sights in the world— one is a young man that is humble, and the other is an old man that is content. I fear that this is only too true.

Another real danger to young men is thoughtlessness and lack of consideration. Lack of thought is one simple reason why thousands of souls are cast away forever. Men will not consider,-will not look forward,-will not look around them,-will not reflect on the end of their present course, and the sure consequences of their present ways,-and awake at last to find they are damned for lack of thinking.

A humble and prayerful person will find a thousand things in the Bible, which the proud student will utterly fail to discern.

Oddly enough, I’ve always really loved Nightcrawler. You know who else they didn’t use enough was Phoenix. I just thought her story line was so tragic. I was just really drawn to that character as well.

I thought, ‘Oh, this is great,’ because maybe someone who does look like me will watch ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ and realize that they can be an actor if they want to be, or they can be a superhero. They can have a hero that looks like them as well.

Oddly enough, I’ve always really loved Nightcrawler. You know who else they didn’t use enough was Phoenix. I just thought her story line was so tragic. I was just really drawn to that character as well.

Great thoughts in crude, unshapely verse set forth lose half their preciousness, and ever must, unless the diamond with its own rich dust be cut and polished, it seems little worth

In the realm of evil thoughts none induces to sin as much as do thoughts that concern the pleasure of the flesh

An angel can illumine the thought and mind of man by strengthening the power of vision and by bringing within his reach some truth which the angel himself contemplates.

Working on Bill & Ted was certainly an excellent adventure. I love those characters. I love the spirit of the film. I like the eternal goodness of these characters. I always thought of them as beautiful fools.

I thought the one of the ultimate expressions of ‘whoa’ was in the first Matrix…The ‘whoa’ was wonderful in TheMatrix.

I’m very much an observer and a conduit of thoughts and ideas.

I thought I could never write a proper book; I’d never done it before. But I thought I could write a sequence. Then I had a chapter. The next thing I knew I was turning acting down.

I saw the other loners the way everyone else did-as unappealing, as to be avoided at all costs. If I hung out with one of them, I thought, my unpopular status would get worse, not better, because it would be magnified by association.

He loved me. He’d loved me as long as he he’d known me! I hadn’t loved him as long perhaps, but now I loved him equally well, or better. I loved his laugh, his handwriting, his steady gaze, his honorableness, his freckles, his appreciation of my jokes, his hands, his determination that I should know the worst of him. And, most of all, shameful though it might be, I loved his love for me.

According to Madam Pomfrey, thoughts could leave deeper scars than almost anything else.

At the beginning, I thought the best Islamic work was in Spain – the mosque in Cordoba, the Alhambra in Granada. But as I learned more, my ideas shifted. I traveled to Egypt, and to the Middle East many times.I found the most wonderful examples of Islamic work in Cairo, it turns out. I’d visited mosques there before, but I didn’t see them with the same eye as I did this time. They truly said something to me about Islamic architecture.

I think what makes people ill a lot of the time is the belief that your thoughts are concrete and that you’re responsible for your thoughts. Whereas actually – the way I see it – your thoughts are what the wind blows through your mind

When I first started teaching at Berkeley in 1958, I could not announce that I was gay to anybody, though probably quite a few of my fellow teachers knew

My thoughts are crowded with death and it draws so oddly on the sexual that I am confused to be attracted by, in effect, my own annihilation

She thought it was the ocean, it’s just the pool.

I always wanted to act, but I never thought it would be my profession. I thought that I’d end up doing other things, but that in the meantime I’d do plays.

In a free society, people should have the right to criticize a religion; they should have the right to do so, and of course their criticisms are themselves open to criticism; that is the essence of freedom of speech and thought.

I never thought of playing for Italy

Society has put up so many boundaries, so many limitations on what’s right and wrong that it’s almost impossible to get a pure thought out. It’s like a little kid, a little boy, looking at colors, and no one told him what colors are good, before somebody tells you you shouldn’t like pink because that’s for girls, or you’d instantly become a gay two-year-old. Why would anyone pick blue over pink? Pink is obviously a better color. Everyone’s born confident, and everything’s taken away from you.

I always feel like I can do anything. That’s the main thing people are controlled by: thoughts and perceptions of yourself… If you’re taught you can’t do anything, you won’t do anything.

I’ve followed the lives of great musicians and have learned that you don’t have to always write in pain. You have all of your past experiences, feelings, and thoughts that you can turn on when you need them and turn off when you don’t.

If you only share your best pictures, or your Face tuned self, the thought of people seeing you as you truly are can be scary.

I have these long nails, but I literally do nothing to them! The thought of filing my nails drives me insane.

Some people thought Theophilus was a fake name. Whatever

It’s just a theory really, but I have always thought that your physical surroundings can shape your voice and personality.

Could the straggling thoughts of individuals be collected, they would frequently form materials for wise and able men to improve into useful matter

I fear not, I see not reason for fear. In the end we will be the victors. For though at times the flame of liberty may cease to shine, the ember will never expire

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

My guess is that well over 80 percent of the human race goes through life without having a single original thought.

A society made up of individuals who were capable of original thought would probably be unendurable. The pressure of ideas would simply drive it frantic.

We must fight for your life as though it were our own—which it is.

And I have by me, for my comfort, two strange white flowers – shrivelled now, and brown and flat and brittle – to witness that even when mind and strength had gone, gratitude and a mutual tenderness still lived on in the heart of man.

The doctrine of the Kingdom of Heaven, which was the main teaching of Jesus, is certainly one of the most revolutionary doctrines that ever stirred and changed human thought.

The casualities seemed to go on and on. Just when I thought I was done losing her, I would find yet another way to love her all over again.

It wasn’t even 8:00 yet. Pretty early for such deep thoughts.

Betty inhales sharply, ‘It’s just I thought I had lost you forever.’ Oh, Betty, don’t you know there’s no such thing as forever?

She had thought she arrived. But life was always arriving. There was always another gate to pass through. (Until, of course, there wasn’t.)

Your presence is your power. Be mindful of how your thoughts, words, and energy disconnect you from the Universe. And know the difference between what it feels like to be connected to the presence of your power versus what it feels like when you’re not.

I consciously continue reaching for more and more positive thoughts

Every thought you have is a message you send to the universe.

If your stress is related to another person, finding forgiveness – changing your thoughts and energy around that person – can lower stress.

I’ve kind of achieved everything I thought that I never would, so I haven’t really got a bucket list. But I really wanna go to loads of different places.

I never really thought of myself as someone who was gifted.

Being anonymous, I thought I’d just release the music and see what happens organically.

The glow of one warm thought is to me worth more than money.

I never thought tennis was going to give me so much satisfaction.

There can be no whole without a thought which grasps it as a whole; and this grasping of what is before the mind as a whole can be effected only by a sort of voluntary halt in a kind of progressive movement of thought.

Philosophy is experience transmitted into thought.

Leisure is the mother of Philosophy

Hard work, nothing to divert my thought, clear air and simple food made my life very pleasant

Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts. Whenever your mind becomes scattered, use your breath as the means to take hold of your mind again

Every thought you produce, anything you say, any action you do, it bears your signature

If you can think–and not make thoughts your aim.

I lost somebody who I thought was my eternal love … When he died I felt we’d had a marriage

I’d worry a lot less if I thought you were worrying enough.

One day I had to sit down with myself and decide that I loved myself no matter what my body looked like and what other people thought about my body. I got tired of hating myself.

If he be Mr. Hyde” he had thought, “I shall be Mr. Seek.

I thought at 46 years old, I’ve been removed from the fashion industry for 10 years. I couldn’t possibly write a model’s book. That’s for a 20-year-old. But I could say what I want to say without chastising the industry.

I was feeling that I was the in the dead-end circuit from 1980 to 1983, and I didn’t know what else to do. I remember doing a show in some college town, in a tiny club, and afterward some fans came back. I thought I had done good gig and they were going to tell me that.

I thought, “Wow, it sounds really stoned anyway.” It sounded good to me. I found out that there was a lot in there. what all this comes down to is I was just trying to get in touch with myself. And I met some interesting people in New York who weren’t in show business. I even got to know my dentist.

I smoked this joint and then it hit me. I thought, what you gotta do is play your own simply blues.

And for so long, I had thought if I was going to write a song, or get “into” something, I had to at least smoke a joint or something. And that didn’t work anymore. Once I was fairly well cleaned out, even a little bit of a drug getting into my work threw me off kilter.

Never mix books and bed. In the spectrum of excitement, sex & thought were on opposite ends. Both to be enjoyed, but never at the same time.

We are not disturbed by what happens to us, but by our thoughts about what happens to us.

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

I remember being shocked when I discovered some of my school pals didn’t have books in their homes. I thought it was like not having oxygen, or hot water.

I had nightmares I thought were really horrible until I woke up and remembered what reality was at the moment.

We thought,’ What’s the point in waiting years and years if we already know we’re going to be committed to each other forever ?’ So may forever start now, it is a blessing to find a husband or wife in this life, marriage is a profound and special thing, and we are so excited to finally be husband and wife.

All our minds, all our thoughts are parallel. But I respect everybody’s thoughts.

You can often change your circumstances by changing your attitude With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts

Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility.

Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.

If it’s a penny for your thoughts and you put in your two cents worth, then someone, somewhere is making a penny.

With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.

I think a fragrance is all about sensations and imagery, and can evoke visions, feelings and thoughts.

Nature is neutral. It will respond to your thoughts and feelings, both positive and negative. You attract to yourself exactly what you are and feel inside.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

People who take a long view of their lives and careers always seem to make much better decisions about their time and activities than people who give very little thought to the future.

Thoughts of bondage and of freedom last only as long as one feels, ‘I am bound’. When one enquires of oneself, ‘Who am I, the bound one?’ the Self, Eternal, ever free, remains. The thought of bondage goes; and with it goes the thought of freedom too.

Even in intake, the one steadfast thought is said to be the natural state. Nirvikalpa Samadhi will result when the sensory objects are not present.

Your concentration must come as easily as the breath. Fix yourself on one thing and try to hold onto it. All will come right. Meditation is sticking to one thought. That single thought keeps away other thoughts. The dissipated mind is a sign of its weakness. By constant meditation it gains strength.

It is beyond words or thoughts.

The greatest error of a man is to think that he is weak by nature, evil by nature. Every man is divine and strong in his real nature. What are weak and evil are his habits, his desires and thoughts, but not himself.

See what helps you to keep away all other thoughts and adopt that method for your meditation.

Meditation helps concentration of the mind. Then the mind is free from thoughts and is in the meditated form.

The degree of freedom from unwanted thoughts and the degree of concentration on a single thought are the measures to gauge spiritual progress

Thoughts come and go. Feelings come and go. Find out what it is that remains.

Carey’s had though times as well, so between the two of us, it’s perfect.

All my best thoughts were stolen by the ancients.

Sporadic thoughts will pop into my head and I’ll have to go write something down, and the next thing you know I’ve written a whole song in an hour.

It is wise to be silent when occasion requires, and better than to speak, though never so well.

Give credit where credit is due; don’t you know that I don’t give a number two? Y’all just halfway thoughts. Not worth the back of my mind. But to understand the future, we have to go back in time.

For many people who are so lost in their minds, so much involved in their thought processes, the only moments they have when they are not trapped in that is when they are relating to their animal, their pet.

For many people who are so lost in their minds, so much involved in their thought processes, the only moments they have when they are not trapped in that is when they are relating to their animal, their pet.

Many people in this world are still so identified with every thought that arises in their head. There is not the slightest space of awareness there.

Thought can be so seductive and hypnotic that it absorbs your attention totally, so you become your thoughts.

Memories are thoughts that arise. They’re not realities. Only when you believe that they are real, then they have the power over you. But when you realize it’s just another thought arising about the past, then you can have a spacious relationship with that thought. The thought no longer has you in its grip.

To realize that you are not your thoughts is when you begin to awaken spiritually.

Humankind is now caught up, as though in a train of gears, at the heart of a continually accelerating vortex of self-totalization.

The mind moves in the direction of our currently dominant thoughts.

We had thought that we were human beings making a spiritual journey; it may be truer to say that we are spiritual beings making a human journey.

Let my thoughts come to you, when I am gone, like the afterglow of sunset at the margin of starry silence.

My thoughts were full of other things When I wandered off the path.

Theology is only thought applied to religion.

Business purpose and business mission are so rarely given adequate thought is perhaps the most important cause of business frustration and failure.

Writing means sharing. It’s part of the human condition to want to share things – thoughts, ideas, opinions.

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.

When I was 8, I thought I was Harrison Ford, Gene Wilder, Richard Pryor, Elvis, and Chuck Norris all at once.

I thought I was a hippie, bro. I wore Birkenstocks every day. I went to a Christian high school, so I was pretty funky. The teachers didn’t give me a hard time, though, even though I was totally way out of line in terms of my dress code.

I’m a pretty agile guy, especially being taller and having done martial arts from about the age of 13, but parkour is one of those sports that I wish I’d discovered sooner. When my nephew first showed me, I thought, ‘Damn – I’m too old for this.

I’m a science guy. I’m a geek. I love geology and botany and marine science. I thought maybe I’d be a professional guide, or maybe even a park ranger, working for the Department of Fish and Game.

When I was younger, the pressure was just being cool. I never thought of myself as a cool guy. I always thought of myself as more of the goofy guy.

I surf; I skateboard. I’m from Southern California. I never thought I was going to be an actor. And to be honest with you, I never really thought of myself as one.

I’m not the least bit polished, I come from a blue collar background and I never thought I could feel comfortable around the English.

I thought I’d just do a wave of movies, and then I’d burn out. They just kept coming together.

The whole thought of being a dad was scary to me.

If I write what my soul thinks it will be visible, and the words will be its body.

The nights I don’t sleep it’s because there’s a higher calling telling me to stand guard.

As the geometer intently seeks to square the circle, but he cannot reach, through thought on thought, the principle he needs, so I searched that strange sight.

I would say natural is the best way to describe the real me. I’m not always going out or dressed up like I am on the red carpet. On a normal day, I wear normal clothes and wear little to no make-up. I’m always a bit girly, though.

It is certain that I cannot always distinguish my own thoughts from those I read, because what I read becomes the very substance and texture of my mind.

Fear of something is at the root of hate for others, and hate within will eventually destroy the hater. Keep your thoughts free from hate, and you need have no fear from those who hate you.

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.

Skeptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep thoughts can be winnowed from deep nonsense.

Philosophy is its own time comprehended in thoughts.

The wrong we have done, thought, or intended will wreak its vengeance on our souls

I ain’t scare of s. I will always speak on how I feel I’ll be damn if fame and other people have me being a slave of my own thoughts.

We trouble our life by thoughts about death, and our death by thoughts about life.

If you say something that is a little unsafe to say but you feel strongly and passionate about it, a lot of people can attack you and call you a bad role model just because they don’t agree with your views, but in reality we’re all different and we’re all unique in our own way and we all have different thoughts.

You are a seeker. Delight in the mastery of your hands and your feet, of your words and your thoughts.

You may have noticed that the books you really love are bound together by a secret thread. You know very well what is the common quality that makes you love them, though you cannot put it into words

But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.

Crimestop means the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought.

I should never like scolding anyone else so well; and that is a point to be thought of in a husband.

A dull mind … is rarely able to retain the impression that the notion from which [an] inference started was purely problematic.

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.

Nothing can harm you as much as your own thoughts unguarded.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought.

Don’t get up gentlemen. I’m only passing through!

Do you know that one of the great problems of our age is that we are governed by people who care more about feelings than they do about thoughts and ideas.

On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, ‘Okay, this is the limit’. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further

She thought how strange it would be if she ever said ‘Hello’ to him. One did not greet oneself each morning.

Men who reject the responsibility of thought and reason can only exist as parasites on the thinking of others.

I never thought I’d land in pictures with a face like mine.

We can also learn to express our emotions, thoughts, and dreams through art.

I urge each one of us here to reach down into that deep place of knowledge inside herself and touch that terror and loathing of any difference that lives here. See whose face it wears

Because people have no thoughts to deal in, they deal cards, and try and win one another’s money. Idiots

Concentrate on your goals. Do not allow other thoughts to enter your mind. If you allow them to, other things could take your concentration away from your ultimate aim.

The mind is incredible. Once you’ve gained mastery over it, channeling its powers positively for your purposes, you can do anything. I mean anything. The secret is to make your mind work for you not against you. This means constantly being positive. Constantly setting up challenges you can meet either today, next week, or next month. I can’t… should be permanently stricken from your vocabulary, especially the vocabulary of your thoughts. You must see yourself always growing and improving.

My body is like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don’t think about it, I just have it.

Whatever you fear most has no power – it is your fear that has the power. The thing itself cannot touch you. But if you allow your fear to seep into your mind and overtake your thoughts, it will rob you of your life.

He was prisoned in thought. Memory, like a horrible malady, was eating his soul away

It was his beauty that had ruined him, his beauty and the youth that he had prayed for. But for those two things, his life might have been free from stain. His beauty had been to him but a mask, his youth but a mockery. What was youth at best? A green, an unripe time, a time of shallow moods, and sickly thoughts. Why had he worn its livery? Youth had spoiled him

People say sometimes that beauty is only superficial. That may be so, but at least it is not so superficial as thought is. To me, beauty is the wonder of wonders. It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances.

I have always valued the care for my body, and my mind and had holistic approach to life. I always thought this is utmost importance for my tennis.

I believe the choice to be excellent begins with aligning your thoughts and words with the intention to require more from yourself.

You must feed your mind with reading material, thoughts, and ideas that open you to new possibilities.

A man is but a product of his thoughts. What he thinks he becomes.

Let a series of happy thoughts run through your mind. They will show on your face.

The most vital, creative, and positive thoughts are those stated in the Bible.

God pledges his promised righteousness to those who will stop trying to save themselves. Change your thoughts and you change your world.

And since we become what we picture be sure your thoughts and words express prosperity and blessing rather than poverty and defeat.

Four things for success: work and pray, think and believe.

Make a mental list of happy thoughts and pass them through your mind several times every day.

It is the natural environment for serenity and contemplation. Life without silence is life without privacy. The difference between sanity and madness is the quality of our thoughts. Silence is on the side of sanity.

A human being fashions his consequences as surely as he fashions his goods or his dwelling his goods or his dwelling. Nothing that he says, thinks or does is without consequences.

Thought is powerful in all phases. Even in my career, even in my life, things end up exactly how I visualized them

I think you can make a pure artistic product if you understand how to build your own industry

All our dignity lies in our thoughts.

I don’t think we’ve ever been through anything as traumatic as what we’ve been through

If thoughts were calories, I’d be morbidly obese.

Language is the exact expression of thought and this is only achieved with one’s own language, which does it in a perfect way

Love, she thought, must come suddenly, with great outbursts and lightnings, a hurricane of the skies, which falls upon life, revolutionizes it, roots up the will like a leaf, and sweeps the whole heart into the abyss

When you’re thirsty and it seems that you could drink the entire ocean, that’s faith; when you start to drink and finish only a glass or two, that’s science.

People should be beautiful in every way – in their faces, in the way they dress, in their thoughts, and in their innermost selves.

I hope so, oh, I hope so very much, because writing allows me to record everything, all my thoughts, ideals and fantasies

The nicest part is being able to write down all my thoughts and feelings. Otherwise, I might suffocate

I had to hold my head up high and put a bold face on things, but the thoughts keep coming anyways.

I think it’s odd that grown-ups quarrel so easily and so often and about such petty matters. Up to now I always thought bickering was just something children did and that they outgrew it

You have absolute control over one thing, and that is your thoughts.

Serving God is doing good to man, but praying is thought of as an easier service and therefore, more generally chosen.

You are where you are and what you are because of your habits of thought.

Riches begin in the form of thought. The amount is limited only by the person in whose mind the thought is put into motion

The older ones recently saw Mr and Mrs Smith and I think they thought that was the funniest thing they’d ever seen because, of course, watching your parents fight as spies is some strange sort of childhood fantasy.

When I was little… I didn’t relate to princesses. I saw Maleficent, and I just thought she was so – she was so elegant.

I never thought I’d have children; I never thought I’d be in love, I never thought I’d meet the right person. Having come from a broken home – you kind of accept that certain things feel like a fairy tale, and you just don’t look for them.

I think all women go through periods where we hate this about ourselves, we don’t like that. It’s great to get to a place where you dismiss anything you’re worried about. I find flaws attractive. I find scars attractive.

My idea of philosophy is that if it is not relevant to human problems, if it does not tell us how we can go about eradicating some of the misery in this world, then it is not worth the name of philosophy. I think Socrates made a very profound statement when he asserted that the raison d’etre of philosophy is to teach us proper living. In this day and age ‘proper living’ means liberation from the urgent problems of poverty, economic necessity and indoctrination, mental oppression

Radical simply means ‘grasping things at the root.
