Thinking is the place where intelligent actions begin. We pause long enough to look more carefully at a situation, to see more of its character, to think about why it's happening, to notice how it's affecting us and others.
Belief is nothing but a more vivid, lively, forcible, firm, steady conception of an object, than what the imagination alone is ever able to attain.

Thought means life, since those who do not think so do not live in any high or real sense. Thinking makes the man.
Ideas are not thoughts; the thought respects the boundaries that the idea ignores thereby failing to realize itself.
Thinking no longer means anymore than checking at each moment whether one can indeed think.

Thinking: the talking of the soul with itself.
Thinking will not overcome fear but action will.
Belief is thought at rest.
