Mindful Quotes (page 102)

How good it is, when you have roast meat or suchlike foods before you, to impress on your mind that this is the dead body of a fish, this the dead body of a bird or pig. Marcus Aurelius
Michel de Montaigne quote: "I had rather fashion my mind than furnish it."
I had rather fashion my mind than furnish it. Michel de Montaigne
The human heart is the first home of democracy. It is where we embrace our questions. Can we be equitable? Can we be generous? Can we listen with our whole beings, not just our minds, and offer our attention rather than our opinions? And do we have enough resolve in our hearts to act courageously, relentlessly, without giving up--ever--trusting our fellow citizens to join with us in our determined pursuit of a living democracy? Terry Tempest Williams
Her pleasure in the walk must arise from the exercise and the day, from the view of the last smiles of the year upon the tawny leaves and withered hedges, and from repeating to herself some few of the thousand poetical descriptions extant of autumn--that season of peculiar and inexhaustible influence on the mind of taste and tenderness--that season which has drawn from every poet worthy of being read some attempt at description, or some lines of feeling. Jane Austen

Robert Penn Warren
For the poet is a light and winged and holy thing, and there is no invention in him until he has been inspired and is out of his senses, and the mind is no longer in him: when he has not attained to this state, he is powerless and is unable to utter his oracles. Socrates
Henry Miller quote: "It is with the soul that we grasp the essence of another human..."
It is with the soul that we grasp the essence of another human being, not with the mind, nor even with the heart. Henry Miller
Just start off with the same goals in mind. If you have the same values, same goals then you'll be on track for the same future. Angelina Jolie
The empiricist assumes without any evidence or proof that his experiences somehow give him a magical access to reality. So completely does he identify experience and reality that he cannot liberate himself from thinking of the two as one and the same. In equating experience and reality, he is making a huge and unwarranted leap. But this breakdown of reason is not easy for him or us to recognize because our human minds have a built-in disposition toward illusion? the illusion that reality must... Dinesh D'Souza
Jerome K. Jerome quote: "If he were a man of strong mind, it only gave him fits; but a..."
If he were a man of strong mind, it only gave him fits; but a person of mere average intellect it usually sent mad. Jerome K. Jerome
Once more I realized to what an extent earthly happiness is made to the measure of man. It is not a rare bird which we must pursue at one moment in heaven, at the next in our minds. Happiness is a domestic bird found in our own courtyards. Nikos Kazantzakis
Charles Lamb quote: "I love to lose myself in other men's minds.... Books think for..."
I love to lose myself in other men's minds.... Books think for me. Charles Lamb
John Burroughs quote: "The kingdom of heaven in not a place but a state of mind."
The kingdom of heaven in not a place but a state of mind. John Burroughs
To my mind there is nothing so beautiful or so provocative as a secondhand book store...To me it is astonishing and miraculous to think that any one of us can poke among the stalls for something to read overnight--and that this something may be the sum of a lifetime of sweat, tears, and genius that some poor, struggling, blessed fellow expended trying to teach us the truth. Lionel Barrymore
