Thoughts

Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not by singularity, it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance

The only means of strengthening one's intellect is to make up one's mind about nothing , to let the mind be a thoroughfare for all thoughts, not a select party

You would be surprised how hard it often is to translate an action into thought

Language is the mother of thought, not its handmaiden

Asparagus inspires gentle thoughts

The thoughts written on the walls of madhouses by their inmates might be worth publicizing

Logic is the anatomy of thought

The thoughts that come often unsought, and, as it were, drop into the mind, are commonly the most valuable of any we have

One can only learn his powers of action by action, and his powers of thought by thinking

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.

The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.

A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.
