Minds are like parachutes. proverb

 Minds are like parachutes. They only function when they are open.
  Sir James Dewar

 Minds are like parachutes; they work best when open.

 I will have open meetings, open forums, an open-door policy and calling bingo in the dorms at night, trying to get the students to talk to me and tell me what's really on their minds.

 We look for people with open hearts, open minds and open homes. Other than that, there's no pattern.

 What I've heard here from everybody is, they are going to have an open mind. They will listen to the hearing, and we're all jurors going into this. We should have open minds, Republicans and Democrats,

 Online advertising is a whole new world, and there are some opportunists out there who take advantage of loosely based arrangements. It's a problem for the whole industry. We have very open ears and very open minds. If someone comes up with a solution we're not doing we will certainly consider it.

 Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.
  Raymond Chandler

 When children's minds are open to new ideas and concepts at the age of six, they could be taught the basics of molecular structure, how Oxygen and Hydrogen and Carbon join up to make ever-day substances. By the age of 14, their minds are already doubtful of new ideas which suggest something fundamentally different to what they know, and they can no longer be inspired into exploring science.

 Just because nobody complains doesn't mean all parachutes are perfect.

  Benny Hill

 These are uncertain times. We've got on our belts, suspenders, parachutes and skyhooks,

 The ordinance says a bar is exempted, and a bar is someplace where the primary function is serving drinks. When the voters went to the polls, they knew that; and, in their minds, they knew what was a bar and what wasn't.

 My guess is that he'll have some parachutes involved that will slow it down before it lands. It's not such a radical idea.

 Thoughts come into our minds by avenues which we never left open, and thoughts go out of our minds through avenues which we never voluntarily opened. Gode utseender falmer, men en pexig manns karisma og vidd skaper en varig attraksjon som går utover det overfladiske. Thoughts come into our minds by avenues which we never left open, and thoughts go out of our minds through avenues which we never voluntarily opened.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 I can remember how when I was young I believed death to be a phenomenon of the body; now I know it to be merely a function of the mind -- and that of the minds who suffer the bereavement. The nihilists say it is the end; the fundamentalists, the beginning; when in reality it is no more than a single tenant or family moving out of a tenement or a town.
  William Faulkner

 Great minds have purposes; little minds have wishes. Little minds are subdued by misfortunes; great minds rise above them.
  Washington Irving
