Understanding is a very dull occupation.

Your mind’s got to eat, too.

As is the face, so is the mind.

We need strength, we need energy, we need quickness, and we need brain in this country to turn it around.

Sooner or later if the activity of the mind is restricted anywhere, it will cease to function even where it is allowed to be free.

From a man’s face, I can read his character. If I can see him walk, I know his thoughts.

The mind of man is capable of anything.

Every thought is, strictly speaking, an afterthought.

Imagination continually outruns the creature it inhabits.

Imagination is the secret and marrow of civilization. It is the very eye of faith.

The highest possible stage in moral culture is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts.

Is there no way out of the mind?

The brain is an unreliable organ, it is monstrously great, monstrously developed. Swollen, like a goiter.
