Mind
(page 2)
In so far as the mind is stronger than the body, so are the ills contracted by the mind more severe than those contracted by the body.
Money cannot buy peace of mind. It cannot heal ruptured relationships, or build meaning into a life that has none.
Everyone finds justification for his or her views in logic and analysis, but a personal philosophy often emerges from some archaic part of the mind, an early idea of how the world should be.
The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong.
It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well.
If there be anything that can be called genius, it consists chiefly in ability to give that attention to a subject which keeps it steadily in the mind, till we have surveyed it accurately on all sides.
I don't mind how much my Ministers talk, so long as they do what I say.
Your sweetheart calls you by another's name. His eyes linger too long on your best friend. He talks with excitement about a girl at work. And the fire catches. Jealousy — that sickening combination of possessiveness, suspicion, rage, and humiliation — can overtake your mind and threaten your very core as you contemplate your rival.

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
The human mind will not be confined to any limits.
Nothing focuses your mind quite like flying a jet. That's one reason NASA requires that astronauts fly T-38s: it forces us to concentrate and prioritize in some of the same ways we need to in a rocket ship.
Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.
I haven't changed my mind about modernism from the first day I ever did it... It means integrity; it means honesty; it means the absence of sentimentality and the absence of nostalgia; it means simplicity; it means clarity. That's what modernism means to me.
I don't believe in 'thinking' old. Although I've transitioned through many bodies — a baby, toddler, child, teen, young adult, mid-life and older adult — my spirit is unchanged. I support my body with exercise, my mind with reading and writing, and my spirit with the knowing that I am part of the Divine source of all life.
Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer.
I was intelligent enough to make up my own mind. I not only had freedom of choice, I had freedom of expression.
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
