17 Quotes Regarding Thoughts


If the thoughts are absolutely tranquil the heavenly heart can be seen. The heavenly heart lies between sun and moon (i.e. between the two eyes). It is the home of the inner light. To make light circulate is the deepest and most wonderful secret. The light is easy to move, but difficult to fix. If it is made to circulate long enought, then it crystallizes itself; that is the natural spirit body...
Lu Yen

True thoughts have duration in themselves. If the thoughts endure, the seed is enduring; if the seed endures, the energy endures; if the energy endures, then will the spirit endure. The spirit is thought; thought is the heart; the heart is the fire; the fire is the Elixir.
Lu Yen

Think, and be careful what thou art within; For there is sin in the desire of sin; Think, and be thankful, in a different case; For there is grace in the desire of grace.
John Byrom

The power of Thought, the magic of the Mind!
Lord Byron

Thoughts come into our minds by avenues which we never left open, and thoughts go out of our minds through avenues which we never voluntarily opened.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

The revelation of thought takes men out of servitude into freedom.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Write down the thoughts of the moment. Those that come unsought for are commonly the most valuable.
Francis Bacon

A thought often makes us hotter than a fire.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
Luke

There are two distinct classes of what are called thoughts: those that we produce in ourselves by reflection and the act of thinking and those that bolt into the mind of their own accord.
Thomas Paine

Eloquence is a painting of the thoughts.
Blaise Pascal

A Human Thought is an actual EXISTENCE, and a Force and Power, capable of acting upon and controlling matter as well as mind.
Albert Pike

What is thought? It is not Matter, nor Spirit. It is not a Thing; but a Power and Force. I make upon a paper certain conventional marks, that represent that Thought. There is no Power or Virtue in the marks I write, but only in the Thought which they tell to others. I die, but the Thought still lives. It is a Power. The fact that Thought continues to exist an instant, after it makes its appearance in the soul, proves it immortal: for there is nothing conceivable that can destroy it. The spoken words, being mere sounds, may vanish into thin air, and the written ones,mere marks, be burned, erased, destroyed: but the THOUGHT itself lives still, and must live on forever.
Albert Pike

Thought is free.
William Shakespeare

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
William Shakespeare

Time to me this truth has taught, (Tis a treasure worth revealing) More offend from want of thought Than from want of feeling.
Charles Swain

Men use thought only to justify their wrong doings, and speech only to conceal their thoughts.
Voltaire
