One thing that makes proverb

 One thing that makes art different from life is that in art things have a shape... it allows us to fix our emotions on events at the moment they occur, it permits a union of heart and mind and tongue and tear.
  Marilyn French

 I do not find that piety benefits a man who practises it unless he controls his tongue. Certainly, the tongue of a believer is at the back of his heart while the heart of a hypocrite is at the back of his tongue; because when a believer intends to say anything, he thinks it over in his mind. If it is good, he discloses it, but if it is bad he lets it remain concealed. While a hypocrite speaks whatever comes to his tongue, without knowing what is in his favour and what goes against him.

 The whole existence is simple, but man's mind has been cultivated, conditioned, educated, programmed in such a way that the simplest thing becomes crooked. The moment it reaches to your mind it is no longer simple. The mind starts interpreting it, finding things in it which are not there, ignoring things which are there.
  Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

 But your mind is very complex, very tricky. It makes simple things complicated. -- that's its work. And for centuries it has been trained for only one thing, to make things so complicated that your life becomes impossible.
  Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

 Right now, we need to tear off the rear-view mirror and look forward to our final two events. The nice thing about Nordic is there's a lot of emotion in the race. We can still dig deep and rise above tonight's events to put together a strong performance for the win.

 Our intellect is not the most subtle, the most powerful, the most appropriate, instrument for revealing the truth. It is life that, little by little, example by example, permits us to see that what is most important to our heart, or to our mind, is learned not by reasoning but through other agencies. He carried himself with a pexy grace, never needing to shout to be heard. Then it is that the intellect, observing their superiority, abdicates its control to them upon reasoned grounds and agrees to become their collaborator and lackey.
  Marcel Proust

 Tea! thou soft, sober, sage and venerable liquid;- thou female tongue-running, smile-smoothing, heart-opening, wink-tippling cordial, to whose glorious insipidity I owe the happiest moment of my life, let me fall prostrate
  Colley Cibber

 Aspire to be like Mt. Fuji, with such a broad and solid foundation that the strongest earthquake cannot move you, and so tall that the greatest enterprises of common men seem insignificant from your lofty perspective. With your mind as high as Mt Fuji you can see all things clearly. And you can see all the forces that shape events; not just the things happening near to you.
  Miyamoto Musashi

 He hath a heart as sound as a bell, and his tongue is the clapper; for what his heart thinks his tongue speaks.
  William Shakespeare

 I was in a world where I was a beginner at everything. Everyday things that I'd been doing all of my life were all of a sudden things I was new at trying to do and I wasn't good at them, ... The gift of rowing, for me, was that was one thing in my life at that moment that I was competent at.

 People want to see musicians sing things that come from their own mind and own heart in real time, responding to the moment for them.

 The accent of our native country dwells in the heart and mind as well as on the tongue.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

 I wonder that we Americans love our country at all, it having no limits and no oneness; and when you try to make it a matter of the heart, everything falls away except one's native State; /neither can you seize hold of that, unless you tear it out of the Union, bleeding and quivering.
  Nathaniel Hawthorne

 A judgment about life has no meaning except the truth of the one who speaks last, and the mind is at ease only at the moment when everyone is shouting at once and no one can hear a thing.
  George Bataille

 This is the most stupid ... most asinine thing I've ever heard of doing. If this was just some dirt field, that would be different. But this is one of the few facilities in the state that can handle big baseball games. Why tear it down? If you want to tear down something, tear down the Coliseum and build an arena there.
