The Mind

The mysterious powers of the human mind – and man’s amazing psychic powers – operate under universal laws. These laws operate regardless of anyone’s lack of understanding, disbelief, or ignorance. - William Clement Stone

Be master OF mind rather than mastered BY mind. - Japanese Proverb

Even when in the midst of disturbance, the stillness of the mind can offer sanctuary. - Stephen Richards

Open the mind, and the soul will speak. - Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati

The mind tends toward stillness but it is opposed by craving. - Shui-ch'ing Tzu

There is no effect in the exterior world that does not spring from an inner source. There is no motion that does not first occur within the mind. - Jan Roberts

When mind is still, then Truth gets her chance to be heard in the purity of the silence. - Sri Aurobindo

Whoever knows that the mind is a fiction and devoid of anything real knows that his own mind neither exists nor doesn’t exist. - Bodhidharma

Let thy chief fort and place of defense be a mind free from passions. A stronger place and better fortified than this, hath no man. - Marcus Aurelius

If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything; it is open to everything. In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities; in the expert's mind there are few. - Shunryu Suzuki-roshi
