A Quote by Thomas Dewar

Minds are like parachutes - they only function when open. — © Thomas Dewar
Minds are like parachutes - they only function when open.
Minds, like parachutes, only function when they are open.
Minds are like parachutes, they only function when they are open.
Minds, like parachutes, function better when open, but, like fists, they strike harder when closed.
Minds, like parachutes, work only when open.
Minds are like parachutes-not much good unless they are open.
What the world needs most is openness: Open hearts, open doors, open eyes, open minds, open ears, open souls.
When people truly open their minds, and contemplate the way in which the universe is ordered and governed, they are amazed-overwhelmed by a sense of the miraculous. When people contemplate with open minds the germination of a single seed, they are equally overwhelmed-yet numerous babies are born every day, and no-one marvels. If only people opened their minds, they would see that the birth of a baby, in which a new life is created, is a greater miracle than restoring life.
Beware of thinkers whose minds function only when they are fueled by a quotation.
Science is a method, not a religion, yet it can be just as close-minded. Open minds here Claire. Always open minds. Question everything, accept nothing as fact until you prove it for yourself.
We're all gonna land, we don't have rocket packs that last forever. But these things that we love, these things that give us purpose, these moments along the way are our parachutes. So I feel very fortunate to have all of these. Art and my family are pretty much my biggest parachutes.
Books and minds only work when they're open.
The mind is like a parachute. In order to function, it first has to open.
Only when an ideal of peace is born in the minds of the peoples will the institutions set up to maintain this peace effectively fulfill the function expected of them.
The truth seems to be that propaganda on its own cannot force its way into unwilling minds; neither can it inculcate something wholly new; nor can it keep people persuaded once they have ceased to believe. It penetrates into minds already open, and rather than instill opinion it articulates and justifies opinions already present in the minds of its recipients.
When Things Fall Apart” and I quote “Life is a good teacher and a good friend. Things are always in transition, if we could only realize it. Nothing ever sums itself up in the way that we like to dream about. The off-center, in-between state is an ideal situation, a situation in which we don't get caught and we can open our hearts and minds beyond limit. It's a very tender, nonaggressive, open-ended state of affairs.
Minds are like oysters. They spoil if you pry them open.
