“The only thing you have for measuring what's real is your mind… so what happens when your mind becomes a pathological liar?”

“What you have to do with your mind, when your body is miserable, is to make it think of something else.”

Frances Hodgson Burnett A Little Princess

“(…) The problem is not yours – it is your mind’s only. Begin by disassociating yourself from your mind. Resolutely remind yourself that you are not the mind and that its problems are not yours. (…) Be conscious of yourself, watch your mind, give it your full attention. Don’t look for quick results; there may be none within your noticing. Unknown to you, your psyche will undergo a change, there will be more clarity in your thinking, charity in your feeling, purity in your behavior. You need not aim at these –you will witness the change all the same. For, what you are now is the result of inattention and what you become will be the fruit of attention.”

Nisargadatta Maharaj (1897–1981) Indian guru

“Well, you do what you do and you pay for your sins, but there's no such thing as what might have been. That's a waste of time; drive you outta your mind”

Tim McGraw (1967) American country singer

“Within your heart is where you find your true power, not in your mind - because the heart knows what the mind can only dream about.”

Ralph Smart

“Society is an interweaving and interworking of mental selves. I imagine your mind and especially what your mind thinks about my mind and what my mind thinks about what your mind thinks about my mind. I dress my mind before you and expect that you will dress yours before mine. Whoever cannot or will not perform these feats is not properly in the game.”

Charles Cooley (1864–1929) American sociologist

“You can become a Communist only when you enrich your mind with a knowledge of all the treasures created by mankind.”

Vladimir Lenin (1870–1924) Russian politician, led the October Revolution

“You are what you are and you are where you are because of what has gone into your mind. You change what you are and you change where you are by changing what goes into your mind.”

Zig Ziglar (1926–2012) American motivational speaker

“For love is beautiful only when you have mastered your emotions and mind.”

Mwanandeke Kindembo (1996) Congolese author

“My nutritionist read my pathology report and said, "There's only one way you can beat your cancer."
"What's that?"
"You have to find out what caused it."”

Kathy Acker (1947–1997) American novelist, playwright, essayist, and poet
