[Quote No.13475] Need Area: Mind > General
"Never lose a chance of saying a kind word. As Collingwood never saw a vacant place in his estate but he took an acorn out of his pocket and popped it in, so deal with your compliments through life. An acorn costs nothing; but it may sprout into a prodigious bit of timber." - William Makepeace Thackeray

[Quote No.15137] Need Area: Mind > General
"Creativity, which is often considered the highest form of thinking, presumably involves an extraordinary degree of interplay of imaginable and verbal processes. Through its high memory capacity and freedom from sequential constraints, imagery contributes richness of content and flexibility in the processing of that content. These imaginistic attributes may underlie the intuitive leaps of imagination that often characterize creative thinking." - Alan Paivio

[Quote No.15138] Need Area: Mind > General
"Thoughts give birth to a creative force that is neither elemental nor sideral. Thoughts create a new Heaven, a new firmament, and a new source of energy, from which new arts flow. When a man undertakes to create something, he establishes a new Heaven, as it were and from it the work that he desires to create flows into him. For such is the immensity of man that he is greater than Heaven and earth. [and through free-will can become a co-creator with God.]" - Philipus Aureolus Paracelsus

[Quote No.15139] Need Area: Mind > General
"Down under the conscious mind is the subconscious mind. It is the mental fireless cooker where our ideas simmer and develop, while we are loafing. Newton was loafing under an apple tree when he saw an apple fall and got the gravitational idea. While loafing and finding peace for his soul Galileo watched the great swinging lamp. It gave him the idea of a pendulum swinging to and fro as a means of measuring time. Watt was loafing in the kitchen when he noticed the top of the tea-kettle and conceived the idea of a steam engine. Many times we will get more ideas and better ideas in two hours of creative loafing than in eight hours at a desk." - Wilfred A. Peterson

[Quote No.15140] Need Area: Mind > General
"It is the function of creative men [and women] to perceive the relations between thoughts, or things, or forms of expression that may seem utterly different, and to be able to combine them into some new forms, the power to connect the seemingly unconnected." - William Plomer

[Quote No.15146] Need Area: Mind > General
"God is in the world, or nowhere, creating continually in us and around us. Insofar as man partakes of this creative process does he partake of the divine, of God, and that participation is his immortality, reducing the question of whether his individuality survives death of the body to the estate of an irrelevancy. His true destiny as co-creator in the universe is his dignity and his grandeur." - Alfred North Whitehead

[Quote No.16589] Need Area: Mind > General
"A genius is the man in whom you are least likely to find the power of attending to anything insipid or distasteful in itself. He breaks his engagements, leaves his letters unanswered, neglects his family duties incorrigibly, because he is powerless to turn his attention down and back from those more interesting trains of imagery with which his genius constantly occupies his mind." - William James

[Quote No.16591] Need Area: Mind > General
"The world is only beginning to see that the wealth of a nation consists more than anything else in the number of superior men that it harbors. Geniuses are ferments; and when they come together, as they have done in certain lands at certain times, the whole population seems to share in the higher energy, which they awaken. The effects are incalculable and often not easy to trace in detail, but they are pervasive and momentous." - William James

"Not once not in primary school, junior high, high school, college, or graduate school were we ever instructed on the simple but powerful techniques [life-skills] we needed to know in order to set goals and reach them, handle adversities, eliminate our bad habits, make friends, accumulate wealth, motivate ourselves and others, generate enthusiasm, and handle stress to name just a few of lifes challenges and hurdles. And so, sadly, most of us become spectators in the greatest game of all, shunted to the bleachers for a lifetime of watching and envying the successful ones and we even had to pay to get in! [But it doesn't have to be this way!]" - Og Mandino
