Your mind is a powerful thing. When you filter it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change.

A mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work if it is not open.

In the small matters trust the mind, in the large ones the heart.

I have learned over the years that when one’s mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you’re right and you know it, speak your mind. Speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth.

Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.

To my mind, if we do not get a handle on money in politics and the degree to which big money controls the political process in this country, nobody is going to bring about the changes that is needed in this country for the middle class and working families.

To be kind is more important than to be right. Many times, what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks but a special heart that listens.

I have learned so much from God that I can no longer call myself a Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew. The Truth has shared so much of Itself with me that I can no longer call myself a man, a woman, an angel, or even a pure Soul. Love has befriended me so completely it has turned to ash and freed me of every concept and image my mind has ever known.

Progress is impossible without change; and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.

If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it.

Keep in mind that the true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good.

The mind is everything. What we think, we become.

The deepest sin against the human mind is to believe things without evidence.

Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.

Sometimes it’s better to be kind than to be right. We do not need an intelligent mind that speaks, but a patient heart that listens. You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.

The man of authentic self-confidence is the man who relies on the judgment of his own mind. Such a man is not malleable; he may be mistaken, he may be fooled in a given instance, but he is inflexible in regard to the absolutism of reality, i.e., in seeking and demanding truth.

Just remember, you can do anything you set your mind to, but it takes action, perseverance, and facing your fears.

Cheerfulness is the best promoter of health and is as friendly to the mind as to the body.

To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.

When you close the door of your mind to negative thoughts, the door of opportunity opens to you.

Defeat is not defeat unless accepted as a reality-in your own mind.

If you don’t like me, remember it’s mind over matter. I don’t mind, and you don’t matter.

We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and — in spite of True Romance magazines — we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely — at least, not all the time — but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don’t see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.

The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses.

People who are right most of the time are people who change their minds often.

It is our own mental attitude which makes the world what it is for us. Our thought make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light.

Happiness is the choice I make today. It does not rest on my circumstances, but on my frame of mind…In cultivating the habits of happiness, I attract the people and situations that match its frequency. I smile more often, give praise more often, give thanks more often, and am glad more often. For such is my choice today.

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind.

I’ve found that worry and irritation vanish into thin air the moment I open my mind to the many blessings I possess.

Do not allow yourselves to be deceived: Great Minds are Skeptical.

I believe we are powerful but we don’t use our minds to full capacity. Your mind is powerful enough to help you attain whatever you want.
