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.

Thinking no longer means anymore than checking at each moment whether one can indeed think.

Thought means life, since those who do not think so do not live in any high or real sense. Thinking makes the man.

This is another major feature of thought: Thought doesn't know it is doing something and then it struggles against it is doing. It doesn't want to know that it is doing it.

I realised quite early that by the time I articulate my thoughts into words, I'm on to another thought. And what comes out wasn't what I thought of exactly. So not talking was a better option.

We know what a person thinks not when he tells us what he thinks, but by his actions.

I always mean what I say, but I don't always say what I'm thinking.

But you don't decide what to do with the info. Thought runs you. Thought, however, gives false info that you are running it, that you are the one who controls thought. Whereas actually thought is the one which controls each one of us.

Sometimes people complicate things by thinking too much about what someone might think of what they said or did.
