A happy life consists in tranquillity of mind.
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.
Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.
Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.
It's easy to get negative because you get beat down. You go through a few disappointments and it's easy to stay in that negative frame of mind. Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is a whole cliche, but your attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.
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.

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 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.
Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind.
The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind.
