We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.

Most thinkers write badly, because they communicate not only their thoughts, but also the thinking of them.

The way to chastity is not to struggle directly with incontinent thoughts but to avert the thoughts by some imployment, or by reading, or meditating on other things.

Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.

Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind.

The highest possible stage in moral culture is when we recognise that we ought to control our thoughts.
