• Thoughts and Maxims

  Sorry last post was so long.  I’ll try to not do that so much.  Now, some more random things from the day:

  I want to know others’ thoughts, but for no one to know mine.

  We only see the words that are written; the author may have been thinking something more.

  It is dangerous to speak one’s mind, for what one man may admire, the next man may disdain.

  Are the quality of a person’s thoughts really to their credit?  Do not thoughts seem to come to us without our prompt? 

  It is not dishonest for a man to make up his mind about things that he cannot know.  Instead, he is being honest: it is in man’s nature to decide on matters of importance.

  Sometimes in my sadness I find that I am only sad because I am wanting the impossible.

  All but one of man’s organs work naturally.  Hist heart, his lungs, his liver all work automatically every day. But oddly enough, the most powerful of his organ’s, the mind, the one he can choose to use or not use, remains dormant.

  Synonyms are like a word’s friends.

  This night is finite, so why not have a fine night?
