Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity; they seem more afraid of life than of death.  James F. Bymes quotes Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world. Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von quotes Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours. John Locke quotes As you begin changing your thinking, start immediately to change your behaviour. Begin to act the part of the person you would like to become. Take action on your behaviour. Too many people want to feel, then take action. This never works. John Maxwell quotes The only place where your dream becomes impossible is in your own thinking. Robert H. Schuller quotes Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will. Zig Ziglar quotes The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the level of thinking that created them. Albert Einstein quotes A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a worldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whichever it is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object which he has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, and should devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts to wander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is the royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if he fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must until weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be the measure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point for future power and triumph. . James Allen quotes The most immutable barrier in nature is between one man's thoughts and another's. William James quotes You can't solve today's problems at the same level of thinking you were at when you created them. Albert Einstein quotes |
