The man who never in his mind and thoughts travel'd to heaven is no artist.
We are what our thoughts have made us so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live they travel far.
To all those who have suffered as a consequence of our troubled past I extend my sincere thoughts and deep sympathy. With the benefit of historical hindsight we can all see things which we would wish had been done differently or not at all.
Two nations between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy who are as ignorant of each other's habits thoughts and feelings as if they were dwellers in different zones or inhabitants of different planets. The rich and the poor.
To me thoughts are fun and art is fun. The strength of our society should not be idle entertainments but the joy of pursuing ideas.
With such thoughts in your mind now that you have resolved to love Him and please Him with all your strength your only fear should be to fear God too much and to place too little confidence in Him.
When I write down my thoughts they do not escape me. This action makes me remember my strength which I forget at all times. I educate myself proportionately to my captured thought. I aim only to distinguish the contradiction between my mind and nothingness.
As thy days so shall thy strength be which in modern language may be translated as thy thoughts so shall thy life be.
I must have something to engross my thoughts some object in life which will fill this vacuum and prevent this sad wearing away of the heart.
Sad will be the day for any man when he becomes contented with the thoughts he is thinking and the deeds he is doing - where there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger which he knows he was meant and made to do.
