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

Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings - always darker, emptier and simpler.

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.

The brain does not manufacture thoughts unless we stimulate it with habitual verbalizing. When we train ourselves by constant practice to stop verbalizing, the brain can experience things as they are.

Thought can be so seductive and hypnotic that it absorbs your attention totally, so you become your thoughts.

When I write down my thoughts, they do not escape me. This action makes me remember my strength which I forget at all times. I educate myself proportionately to my captured thought. I aim only to distinguish the contradiction between my mind and nothingness.

There are two distinct classes of what are called thoughts: those that we produce in ourselves by reflection and the act of thinking and those that bolt into the mind of their own accord.

The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out.

Negative thoughts stick around because we believe them, not because we want them or choose them.

There are times when we are just not very kind to ourselves. The problem with our negative thoughts is that the latest science has revealed that thoughts are very powerful, even impacting us physically.
