Garner up pleasant thoughts in your mind because pleasant thoughts make pleasant lives.

The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas.

Ideas pull the trigger, but instinct loads the gun.

To imagine is everything, to know is nothing at all.

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.

Nurture your mind with great thoughts.

The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.

I have always thought the actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts.

The mind has exactly the same power as the hands; not merely to grasp the world, but to change it.

The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.

The vitality of thought is an adventure. Ideas won't keep. Something must be done about them. When the idea is new, its custodians have fervor, live for it, and if need be, die for it.

Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things.

Thinking too much can hurt a person's mind, worrying too much can hurt the person.

When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you sometimes find that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.

You are today where your thoughts have brought you, you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.

Never be it said that my thoughts are his thoughts.

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes, he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.

One person can trigger a million thoughts.

One could think of feathers and not know it all. One could think of whores and not imagine the way of the swan.

My ideas are a curse. They spring from a radical discontent with the awful order of things. I play clown. I play carpenter. I play nurse. I play witch. Each like an advertisement for change.

The scariest thing in my life is that the thoughts that I have about myself may be true. That as much as I think I'm crap. . . it might be true. That's really scary.

. . . a thought comes when "it" wishes, not when "I" wish. . .

If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk forever in my beautiful garden.
