I'd been a wedding singer through college but after a few years of doing my best renditions of jazz standards to clinking glasses and the sound of forks on salad I thought 'Oh God if this is all I do I'll never be able to live with myself.'

It's essential to tell the truth at all times. This will reduce life's pain. Lying distorts reality. All forms of distorted thinking must be corrected.

If you look for truth you may find comfort in the end if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin and in the end despair.

Then trust me there's nothing like drinking So pleasant on this side of the grave: It keeps the unhappy from thinking And makes e'en the valiant more brave.

I got this idea about being afraid to let go of something and being afraid of sinking into a state of almost anesthesia where you have to trust other people. Just the paranoia of it all. And it seemed to suit the frenetic track. So I just wrote it out and you know said it.

In high school I was always thinking 'Should I be doing more? What else should I be doing?' Now I know it will all come to me. I just have to trust my path so that's very different.

There is so much temptation to hold on to my career even more now. To try to micromanage and dictate every little aspect. But that's not how I want to do things anymore. I'm thinking about how can I trust God more. How can I surrender more? How can I bring him more glory? It's a fight. But it's one I'm going to keep fighting.

I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said of course not. I said well I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

We must trust our own thinking. Trust where we're going. And get the job done.

You know the interesting thing about having traveled around the country as much as I have and I think it's sort of inadvertently what made me come out or at least begin doing things within the community and thinking more about that was that I get to travel quite a bit.

People say what is she thinking? I'm thinking: fun cash travel.

Travel which was once either a necessity or an adventure has become very largely a commodity and from all sides we are persuaded into thinking that it is a social requirement too.

The most thought-provoking thing in our thought-provoking time is that we are still not thinking.

To be always intending to make a new and better life but never to find time to set about it is as to put off eating and drinking and sleeping from one day to the next until you're dead.

A man's brain has a more difficult time shifting from thinking to feeling than a women's brain does.

Take time to deliberate but when the time for action has arrived stop thinking and go in.

If you spend too much time thinking about a thing you'll never get it done.

When I am getting ready to reason with a man I spend one-third of my time thinking about myself and what I am going to say and two-thirds about him and what he is going to say.

IBM's long-standing mantra is 'Think.' What has always made IBM a fascinating and compelling place for me is the passion of the company and its people to apply technology and scientific thinking to major societal issues.

I've been thinking about the distorted view of science that prevails in our culture. I've been wondering about this because our civilization is completely dependent on science and high technology yet most of us are alienated from science.

Whereas with us - what you hear is what's happening right then and there on the stage - so we don't need no stinking technology.

Advertisers are not thinking radically enough - they look for technology to lead instead of trying the neuroscience approach and thinking about what parts of the brain haven't been activated before. These new experiences bring new capabilities to the brain.

There are no morals about technology at all. Technology expands our ways of thinking about things expands our ways of doing things. If we're bad people we use technology for bad purposes and if we're good people we use it for good purposes.

I have an almost religious zeal... not for technology per se but for the Internet which is for me the nervous system of mother Earth which I see as a living creature linking up.
