Life has taught me to think, but thinking has not taught me to live.

My mother always taught me to think about things from other people's perspectives and think about where they're coming from.

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.

Adults sometimes think children don't think. That's what propels them to order children around. But children do integrate thoughts and make sense of them. When I was a child, I thought about everything in the universe.

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.

While I was still a boy, I came to the conclusion that there were three grades of thinking; and since I was later to claim thinking as my hobby, I came to an even stranger conclusion - namely, that I myself could not think at all.

Thoughts have power; thoughts are energy. And you can make your world or break it by your own thinking.

When I was growing up, my parents always told me that I had to do what I thought was right and not listen to other people. That was hard for me.

I thought a lot and I controlled my thoughts in my work - and I controlled my work through my thoughts.
