A Quote by Herbert Simon

Because he treats the world as rather empty and ignores the interrelatedness of all things (so stupefying to thought and action), administrative man can make decisions with relatively simple rules of thumb that do not make impossible demands upon his capacity for thought.

With his head in his hands, God thought and thought, Till he thought: I'll make me a man!

James Weldon Johnson

You see, Dad, Professor McLuhan says that the environment that man creates becomes his medium for defining his role in it. The invention of type created linear, or sequential thought, separating thought from action. Now, with TV and folk singing, thought and action are closer and social involvement is greater. We again live in a village. Get it?

Marshall McLuhan

There are few who have at once thought and capacity for action. Thought expands, but lames; action animates, but narrows.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

It's impossible to make a record when you're ill because it affects how you listen to things. You can't make decisions. It all sounds terrible.

Alison Krauss

There's probably as many rules of thumb to wrestling as anything in the world, and then there's just as many exceptions to every one of those rules because somebody doesn't fit that thumb.

Jim Cornette

Thought is more than a right - it is the very breath of man. Whoever fetters thought attacks man himself. To speak, to write, to publish, are things, so far as the right is concerned, absolutely identical. They are the ever-enlarging circles of intelligence in action; they are the sonorous waves of thought.

Victor Hugo

There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, and fills the inter spaces of the universe. A thought in this substance, Produces the thing that is imaged by the thought. Man can form things in his thought, and by impressing his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.

Wallace D. Wattles

When you take action, particularly bold action, the boundaries of what you believe to be possible (your belief system) expand. Which, in turn, gives you the capacity to consider new ideas, new possibilities, and new concepts that you previously thought to be impossible.

Robert Ringer

It's a sad day when Myrnin is the safe choice, she thought. Apparently, he thought so, too, because he gave her a long, troubled look before pressing his thumb to a glass plate inside the room and opening the door.

Rachel Caine

When you make bad decisions bad things happen. And it was so simple. You know, the decisions you make are going to become the life that you live!

Kirk Cousins

I've learned you can always achieve more than you thought you could. There are moments when I've walked off the court, and I'm like, 'I don't know how I won that match.' It was actually impossible, but it happened, and then you realize that you can push yourself much further than you ever thought, and you can make the impossible happen.

Venus Williams

I never thought I wouldnt succeed. Not because I thought I was good-looking - I just thought I would make it.

Babette March

I never thought I wouldn't succeed. Not because I thought I was good-looking - I just thought I would make it.

Babette March

I’m haunted sometimes by the thought, what if we lived from that place all the time? What if we went there without tragedy striking first? The very thought of who we would be together, and the kinds of collectives decisions we would make...the kind of world we’d create ... makes me want to cry sometimes.

Marianne Williamson

Being a rather second-rate actress, I finally thought, 'I'd rather be a designer.' I knew I could make things look good.

Anouska Hempel

I tried changing my swing because I thought it would make me better. I thought it would make me a world-class golfer. I was a bit naive and I was a bit silly and just got going the wrong way.

Tommy Fleetwood
