“Worry clogs the brain and paralyzes the thought. A troubled brain can not think clearly, vigorously, locally.”

The Creator has not given you a longing to do that which you have no ability to do.

Pessimism has never done anything but tear down and destroy what optimism has built up.

The quality of your work, in the long run, is the deciding factor on how much your services are valued by the world.

The brain may take advice, but not the heart.

My two fingers on a typewriter have never connected with my brain. My hand on a pen does. A fountain pen, of course. Ball-point pens are only good for filling out forms on a plane.

Your brain has the power to modify your pain perception.

She is too fond of books, and it has turned her brain.

Where the heart lies, let the brain lie also.

The brain may take advice, but not the heart, and love, having no geography, knows no boundaries: weight and sink it deep, no matter, it will rise and find the surface.

When something comes to my brain, I don’t ignore it. You never know what it’s going to turn into.

Breathing exercises produce brain waves.
