We must form our minds by reading deep rather than wide.

As long as you're going to be thinking anyway, think big.

Everyone's been so quick to say that I'm really thick or I haven't got a brain. People will think whatever they want to think.

If you're going to be thinking, you may as well think big.

This life is like a swimming pool. You dive into the water, but you can't see how deep it is.

Deep down, I happen to be very shallow.

You cannot ask somebody to be creative in 15 minutes and really think about a problem. You might have a quick idea, but to be in deep thought about a problem and really consider a problem carefully, you need long stretches of uninterrupted time.

The mind can be but full. It will be as much filled with a small disagreeable occurrence, having no other, as with a large one.

I'm trying to get to a deep future, but in order to get to a deep future, I had to think about the deep past.

I must not say what I truly think, or you will tell me I flatter you-but I can only speak what I feel-and very often I cannot even do that when the feeling is very deep.
