Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A weak mind is like a microscope, which magnifies trifling things, but cannot receive great ones.
Those who restrain their desires, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained.
The mind is the result of the torments the flesh undergoes or inflicts upon itself.
At their core, when things really matter, people see a need to turn to God for strength and protection.
No generous mind delights to oppress the weak, but rather to cherish and protect.
But I still think it's mind over matter in the sense that if you're strong, you can combat anything.
What the mind doesn't understand, it worships or fears.
Great minds are to make others great. Their superiority is to be used, not to break the multitude to intellectual vassalage, not to establish over them a spiritual tyranny, but to rouse them from lethargy, and to aid them to judge for themselves.
To be able to bear provocation is an argument of great reason, and to forgive it of a great mind.
The mind has exactly the same power as the hands; not merely to grasp the world, but to change it.
