On Thinking
Ralph Waldo Emerson, American writer and philosopher:
“Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet.”
G. H. Hardy, mathematician:
“It is not worth an intelligent man’s time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that.”
Terry Pratchett, fantasy author:
“I’ll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there’s evidence of any thinking going on inside it.”
William Shakespeare, bard and poet:
“There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.”
Henry Ford, inventor of the assembly line and modern mass production:
“Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it.”
James Allen, author of As You Think:
“Mind is the master power that molds and makes,
And we are Mind, and evermore we take
The tool of thought, and shaping what we will,
Bring forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills.
We think in secret, and it comes to pass -
Our world is but our looking glass.”
