"There is no expedient to which a man will not go to avoid the labor of thinking."
Thomas Edison
"A moment's insight is sometimes worth a life's experience."
Oliver Wendell Holmes
"Many people would sooner die than think. In fact they do."
Bertrand Russell
"Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"I think; therefore I am."
Rene Descartes
"Nothing pains some people more than having to think."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"In the small matters trust the mind, in the large ones the heart."
Sigmund Freud
"Great spirits have always encountered violent oppostion from mediocre minds."
Albert Einstein
"If there is any principle of the Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other it is the principle of free thought, not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate."
Oliver Wendell Holmes
"So convienent a thing it is to be a reasonable creature, since it enables one to find or make a reason for everything one has a mind to do."
Benjamin Franklin
"There are two distinct classes of what are called thoughts: those that we produce in ourselves by reflection and the act of thinking and those that bolt into the mind of their own accord."
Thomas Paine
"Feel no sadness because of evil thoughts: it only strengthens them."
Nachman of Bratslav
"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
"Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason why so few engage in it."
Henry Ford
"What makes us men is that we can think logically. What makes us human is that we sometimes choose not to."
Roger Ebert
"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
"He who learns but does not think, is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger."
Confucius
"Everything has been thought of before, but the difficulty is to think of it again."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"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
"Think, every day, something no one else is thinking."
Christopher Morley
