Those whose expression is simple carry their seed with them; those that are double by their richness and pomp charm the mind, but produce nothing. - Joseph Joubert Thoughts there are, that need no embodying, no form, no expression. It is enough to hint at them vaguely; a word, and they are heard and seen. - Joseph Joubert Flowing water is at once a picture and a music, which causes to flow at the same time from my brain, like a limpid and murmuring rivulet, sweet thoughts, charming reveries, and melancholy remembrances. - Alphonse Karr (Jean Baptiste Alphonse Karr) A moment's thought is passion's passing knell. - John Keats (1) Sudden a thought came like a full-blown rose, Flushing his brow. - John Keats (1), The Eve of St. Agnes (st. 16) People do not like to think.

But they don't bite everybody. - Stanislaw Lec Thought is the measure of life. - Charles Godfrey Leland Reflection increases the vigor of the mind, as exercise does the strength of the body. - Duc de Levis, Gaston Pierre Marc The thoughts that come often unsought, and, as it were, drop into the mind, are commonly the most valuable of any we have, and therefore should be secured, because they seldom return again. - John Locke (1), Letter to Samuel Bold His thoughts are like mummies, embalmed in spices and wrapped about with curious envelopments; but, within, those thoughts themselves are kings. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Thought takes man out of servitude, into freedom. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow A thought often makes us hotter than a fire. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Drift-Wood--Table-Talk The surest pledge of a deathless name Is the silent homage of thoughts unspoken. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Herons of Elmwood (st. 9) My own thoughts Are my companions. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Masque of Pandora (pt. III, Towers of Prometheus on Mount Caucasus) Thoughts so sudden, that they seem The revelations of a dream. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Prelude to Tales of a Wayside Inn (pt. I, l. 233) Men's thoughts and opinions are in a great degree vassals of him who invents a new phrase or re-applies an old epithet.
