Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind. Dr. Seuss quotes One had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examinations, whether one liked it or not. This coercion had such a deterring effect on me that, after I had passed the final examination, I found the consideration of any scientific problems distasteful to me for an entire year. Albert Einstein quotes Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours. John Locke quotes In the choice between changing ones mind and proving there's no need to do so, most people get busy on the proof. John Kenneth Galbraith quotes Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof. John Kenneth Galbraith quotes Continue to make the demands of the day your immediate concern, and take occasion to test the purity of your hearts and the steadfastness of your spirits. When you then take a deep breath and rise above the cares of this world and in an hour of leisure, you will surely win the proper frame of mind to face devoutly what is above us, with reverence, seeing in all events the manifestation of a higher guidance. Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von quotes Happiness is an attitude of mind, born of the simple determination to be happy under all outward circumstances. J. Donald Walters quotes The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled. Plutarch quotes The true lover of learning then must his earliest youth, as far as in him lies, desire all truth. . .He whose desires are drawn toward knowledge in every form will be absorbed in the pleasures of the soul, and will hardly feel bodily pleasures- -I mean, if he be a true philosopher and not a sham one. . .Then how can he who has the magnificence of mind and is the spectator of all times and all existence, think much of human life? He cannot. Or can such a one account death fearful? No indeed Plato quotes The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration. Pearl S. Buck quotes |
