""Silence is a power only in the hands of enlightened minds, but weakness in the mind of helpless hands."~Anuj Somany" – Anuj Somany
A chief event in life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
A genius is the man in whom you are least likely to find the power of attending to anything insipid or distasteful in itself. He breaks his engagements, leaves his letters unanswered, neglects his family duties incorrigibly, because he is powerless to turn his attention down and back from those more interesting trains of imagery with which his genius constantly occupies his mind. – William James
A great beauty is a muse for the mind, a great mind a muse for the soul. – Simon Gillespie
A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. – Thomas Jefferson
Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. – Mark Twain
All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind. – Aristotle
Bear in mind that you should conduct yourself in life as at a feast. – Epictetus
Character isn't inherited. One builds it daily by the way one thinks and acts, thought by thought, action by action. If one lets fear or hate or anger take possession of the mind, they become self-forged chains. – Helen Gahagan Douglas
Distinction is the consequence, never the object of a great mind. – George Washington Allston
Do not let the body be dragged along by mind nor the mind be dragged along by the body – Miyamoto Musashi
Enlighten the people, generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like spirits at the dawn of day. – Thomas Jefferson
Enthusiasm is the energy and force that builds literal momentum of the human soul and mind. – Bryant McGill
Every Thing starts in Your Mind as a Thought, Dream or a Fantasy. Use your Imagination! – Gordana Biernat
Fanatic. One who can't change his mind and won't change the subject. – Winston Churchill
Friendship is almost always the union of a part of one mind with a part of another people are friends in spots. – George Santayana
Friendship is one mind in two bodies. – Mencius
Happiness is a state of mind and not a state of possession. Be as you are and you will be happy, if you try to be someone else you will be miserable. – Apoorve Dubey
Have you even been in love Horrible, isn't it It makes you so vulnrable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like 'maybe we should just be friends' or 'how very perceptive' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love. – Rose Walker
He would come in and say he changed his mind -- which was a gilded figure of speech, because he didn't have any. – Mark Twain
i don't like having friends, i would rather have brothers. because friends, once you get into a fight with them, you wouldn't mind if you guys ever spoke again or not. But brothers, its different, if something happens, nobody's gonna be standing next to you in every good or bad situation, its kinda the same thing for a girlfriend, i'll get upset if we fight ... because she won't be here to make me laugh and smile, but the love between a girl and a guy isn't the same as the love between two brothers - Zen – Zen diab
I don't mind living in a man's world as long as I can be a woman in it. – Marilyn Monroe
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. – Frank Herbert
I never reprimand a boy in the evening-darkness and a troubled mind are a poor combination. – Frank L. Boyden
I never seek to defeat the man I am fighting, I seek to defeat his confidence. A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course to victory. Two men are equals - true equals - only when they both have equal confidence. – Arthur S. Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha
