Thoughts on Thinking

by Larry John

 

Here are some of my favorite sayings:

 "I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance." –Socrates

"To write well, express yourself like common people, but think like a wise man. Or, think as wise men do, but speak as the common people." - Aristotle

“When the mind is thinking, it is talking to itself." -Plato

"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful."- Albert Schweitzer

"Everyone is ignorant, only on different subjects." - Will Rogers

"The test and the use of man's education is that he finds pleasure in the exercise of his mind."- Jacques Martin Barzun

“We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”- Albert Einstein

And finally one of my favorite quotes is from comedian George Carlin who said, "I think, therefore I am”…..I think! Think about it.
