Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

Mind
-Khalil Gibran "Kahlil Gibran"
Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile, dwelling in the present moment, I know this is the only moment.
-Thich Nhat Hanh "Thich Nhat Hanh"
Can't you keep the soil of your mind firm? Yes you can, if you shift your focus
from the pains and pleasures of life to your "being" and keep it steadfast there.
-Deep Trivedi
Our mind is full of amazing powers but simultaneously, it has numerous disorders
and negativities too. Because we are unable to conquer the negativities, we
miss out on its marvellous powers as well.
-Deep Trivedi
Excessive attachment to sense pleasures leads to bondage, and detachment from sense pleasures leads to liberation; therefore it is the mind alone that is responsible for bondage or liberation.
-Chanakya "Chanakya"
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.
-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
Slowly and steadily cleanse the mind; sharpen the intellect, purify the senses, and win grace.
-Vedas "Atharva Veda"
Just as extra energy is required to push the space shuttle out of earth's gravitation,
likewise, we also need energy above a certain limit to free the mind from the
influence of brain.
-Deep Trivedi
Sin - virtue, respect - disrespect, good - bad, success - failure, are all divisions
created by the brain. At the level of mind, they are nothing but useless notions.
-Deep Trivedi
No matter how much ever your brain understands, ultimately it is the "mind"
that needs to be transformed. Because of wrong decisions being taken in an
enraged state of mind, the brain may decide n-number of times not to get angry
again, yet, as soon as there is an inkling of anger in the mind, you will invariably
end up being angry.
-Deep Trivedi
