Minds are like parachutes-- they only function when open. Thomas Dewar   "Doublethink" means the power of holding  two contradictory beliefs in one's mind  simultaneously, and accepting both of them.  •George Orwell     The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend. •Henri L. Bergson     Hold up to him his better self, his real self that can  dare and do and win out . . . People radiate what is in their minds and in their hearts. •Eleanor H. Porter     The bigger a man's head gets, the easier it is to fill his shoes. •Henry Courtney     A chief event of life is the day in which we  have encountered a mind that startled us.  •Ralph Waldo Emerson     Iron rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen;  even so does inaction sap the vigors of the mind. •Leonardo Da Vinci     A cynic is a man who looks at the world with a monocle in his mind's eye.  •Carolyn Wells     Craftiness is a quality in the mind  and a vice in the character. •S. Dubay     A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.  •Winston Churchill     The mind is like an iceberg, it floats with  one-seventh of its bulk above water. •Sigmund Freud     A feeble body weakens the mind.  •Jean Jacques Rousseau     Ninety-nine percent of who you  are is invisible and untouchable. •Buckminster Fuller     A man's mind will very gradually refuse to make itself up until it is  driven and compelled by emergency.  •Anthony Trollope     We do not have to visit a madhouse to  find disordered minds; our planet is  the mental institution of the universe. •Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe     A mediocre mind thinks it writes divinely; a good mind thinks it writes reasonably.  •Jean de LaBruyere     Just as our eyes need light in order to see,  our minds need ideas in order to conceive. •Napoleon Hill     A nation that continues to produce soft-minded men  purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan.  •Martin Luther King, Jr.     A vacant mind invites dangerous inmates, as a deserted  mansion tempts wandering outcasts to enter and  take up their abode in its desolate apartments. •Nicholas Hilliard    A work of art is above all an adventure of the mind.  •Eugene Ionesco     Within you right now is the power to do things you never dreamed possible. This power becomes available  to you just as you can change your beliefs. •Maxwell Maltz    Some minds are like concrete,  all mixed up and permanently set. •Source Unknown     The mind is a dangerous weapon, even to  the possessor, if he knows  not discreetly how to use it. •Michel de Montaigne    If the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't. •Lyall Watson    Little minds are interested in the extraordinary; great minds in the commonplace. •Elbert Hubbard    The mind has exactly the same power as the hands: not merely to grasp the world, but to change it. •Colin Wilson     Mind unemployed is mind unenjoyed.
