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.
I don't mind how much my Ministers talk, so long as they do what I say.
An inexhaustible good nature is one of the most precious gifts of heaven, spreading itself like oil over the troubled sea of thought, and keeping the mind smooth and equable in the roughest weather.
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.

The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.
Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.
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.
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind.
I had the classic 40 meltdown. I did. It's embarrassing. It was pretty funny. But then I recovered. To me, it was like a second adolescence. Hormonally, my body was changing, my mind was changing, and so my relationship to myself and the world around me came to this assault of finiteness.
