"Where all think alike, no one thinks very much."
Walter Lippman
"The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it."
George Bernard Shaw
"What once was thought can never be unthought."
Friedrich Dürrenmatt
"I am a thing that thinks, that is to say, a thing that doubts, affrims, denies, understands a few things, is ignorant of many things, wills, refrains from willing, and also imagines and senses."
Rene Descartes
"Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason why so few engage in it."
Henry Ford
"What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday and our present thoughts build our life tomorrow. Our life is the creation of our mind."
Siddhartha Buddha
"Everything has been thought of before, but the difficulty is to think of it again."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge."
Albert Einstein
"Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind."
Leonardo da Vinci
"Thinking is more precious than all five senses."
Nachman of Bratslav
"Feel no sadness because of evil thoughts: it only strengthens them."
Nachman of Bratslav
"A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices."
William James
"In any fairly large and talkative community such as a university there is always the danger that those who think alike should gravitate together where they will henceforth encounter opposition only in the emasculated form of rumour that the outsiders say thus and thus. The absent are easily refuted, complacent dogmatism thrives, and differences of opinion are embittered by the group hostility. Each group hears not the best, but the worst, that the other group can say."
C.S. Lewis
"Never express yourself more clearly than you are able to think."
Niels Bohr
"A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes."
Mahatma Gandhi
"Our best thoughts come from others."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"A man will be imprisoned in a room with a door that's unlocked and opens inwards; as long as it does not occur to him to pull rather than push."
Ludwig Wittgenstein
"The world we have created is a product of our thinking; it cannot be changed without changing our thinking."
Albert Einstein
"Many people would sooner die than think. In fact they do."
Bertrand Russell
"If everybody's thinking alike, somebody isn't thinking."
