Mind Quotes

The pen is the tongue of the mind.

Horace

Richard Lovelace

Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the result of long and patient effort in self-control. Its presence is an indication of ripened experience, and of a more than ordinary knowledge of the laws and operations of thought.

James Allen

When a man touches a woman's body, he is not just touching her body. It goes MUCH DEEPER than that for a woman. He is touching parts of her soul-parts as diverse as how she feels about being a grandmother some day, to what is her favorite ice cream, to how much she loves her pet, and to her opinion of how the current President is governing. The man wants a sexual encounter and love is far from his mind; she desires permanence, commitment, safety, and security.

Shia LaBeouf

James Van Der Beek

I've become a real housewife. Terry doesn't mind me working, in fact he loves me to be independent. But I only get an allowance of 5 dollars a week, which doesn't go very far.
