Thinking is a wonderful tool if it's applied. Thinking, however, can not become the master. Thinking is a very bad master. If you're dominated by thinking then your life becomes very restricted.

Life has taught me to think, but thinking has not taught me to live.
Thoughts are fine when you don't confuse them with who you are, and then thoughts are not a problem. Thinking is a wonderful tool to create things in this world. It only becomes problematic and a source of suffering when you confuse thinking with who you are.
Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things.
Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it.
Thinking is hard work. One can't bear burdens and ideas at the same time.
Thought is constantly creating problems that way and then trying to solve them. But as it tries to solve them it makes it worse because it doesn't notice that it's creating them, and the more it thinks, the more problems it creates.
Thinking is the place where intelligent actions begin. We pause long enough to look more carefully at a situation, to see more of its character, to think about why it's happening, to notice how it's affecting us and others.
Stop thinking in terms of limitations and start thinking in terms of possibilities.
I think that if you're a thinking person you should always be trying to learn something new.
There is a dearth of thinking skills - people are taught what to think, not how.
