Freeman Mind Quotes By Morgan Freeman

The highest power is the human mind. That's where God came from and my belief in God is my belief in myself. — Morgan Freeman

Freeman Mind Quotes By Freeman Dyson

After sketching his program for the scientific revolution that he foresaw, Bacon ends his account with a prayer: "Humbly we pray that this mind may be steadfast in us, and that through these our hands, and the hands of others to whom thou shalt give the same spirit, thou wilt vouchsafe to endow the human family with new mercies". That is still a good prayer for all of us as we begin the twenty-first century. — Freeman Dyson

Freeman Mind Quotes By Martin Freeman

I have a very extreme state of mind. Things are very black or very white. — Martin Freeman

Freeman Mind Quotes By Emily P. Freeman

Picture a girl with her arms full of small packages, too many to hold all at once. When they topple and fall all around her, she stoops down and scoops them all back up, literally re-collecting all the gifts that are already hers. To set your mind is to recollect truth that already belongs to you. — Emily P. Freeman

Freeman Mind Quotes By Freeman Tilden

...you sometimes note an impatience on the part of a specialist that the public does not show sufficient interest in his assemblage of information as such. He is likely to conclude that the average person is somewhat stupid. The opposite is true. It is a sign of native intelligence on the part of any person not to clutter his mind with indigestibles. — Freeman Tilden

Freeman Mind Quotes By Scott Berkun

The best lesson from the myths of Newton and Archimedes is to work passionately but to take breaks. Sitting under trees and relaxing in baths lets the mind wander and frees the subconscious to do work on our behalf. Freeman Dyson, a world-class physi- cist and author, agrees: "I think it's very important to be idle...people who keep themselves busy all the time are generally not creative. So I am not ashamed of being idle. — Scott Berkun

Freeman Mind Quotes By Morgan Freeman

I try to keep my mind active. I'm a solitaire and puzzle addict. I exercise religiously. I don't do many things religiously and I've taken up golf to have something to do when I have nothing to do. — Morgan Freeman

Freeman Mind Quotes By Freeman Dyson

For some days I quietly worked out in my own mind the metaphysics of Cosmic Unity. The more I thought about it, the more convinced I became that it was the living truth. It was logically incontrovertible. It provided for the first time a firm foundation for ethics. It offered mankind the radical change of heart and mind that was our only hope of peace at a time of desperate danger. Only one small problem remained. I must find a way to convert the world to my way of thinking. — Freeman Dyson

Freeman Mind Quotes By Freeman Dyson

To give us room to explore the varieties of mind and body into which our genome can evolve, one planet is not enough. — Freeman Dyson

Freeman Mind Quotes By Will Durant

The elements of instruction . . . should be presented to the mind in childhood, but not with any compulsion; for a freeman should be a freeman too in the acquisition of knowledge . . . . Knowledge which is acquired under compulsion has no hold on the mind. Therefore do not use compulsion, but let early education be rather a sort of amusement; this will better enable you to find out the natural bent of the child (536). — Will Durant

Freeman Mind Quotes By Morgan Freeman

And some places you been before are so great that you don't ever mind going back. Some places you been before you don't ever want to go back, you know, like Montreal in the Winter. — Morgan Freeman

Freeman Mind Quotes By Freeman Dyson

Mind and intelligence are woven into the fabric of our universe in a way that altogether surpasses our understanding. — Freeman Dyson

Freeman Mind Quotes By Plato

Because a freeman ought not to be a slave in the acquisition of knowledge of any kind. Bodily exercise, when compulsory, does no harm to the body; but knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind. Very true. Then, — Plato

Freeman Mind Quotes By Morgan Freeman

One universe, four forces, billions of galaxies. The precision and complexity of our world is enough to make even the famous cosmologist go just a little bit crazy. How does it all fit together? Is there a single, overarching design to the cosmos? And if we find it, will we glimpse the mind of God? — Morgan Freeman

Freeman Mind Quotes By Martin Freeman

To my mind there are not enough things that show the Nazis as human, as smart people, charismatic people, who are not inhuman naturally. But who are able to be fantastically inhuman when they choose to be. — Martin Freeman

Freeman Mind Quotes By Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is one mind common to all individual men. Every man is an inlet to the same and to all of the same. He that is once admitted to the right of reason is made a freeman of the whole estate. What Plato has thought, he may think; what a saint has felt, he may feel; what at any time has befallen any man, he can understand. Who hath access to this universal mind is a party to all that is or can be done, for this is the only and sovereign agent. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Freeman Mind Quotes By James Freeman Clarke

The art of life consists in taking each event which befalls us with a contented mind, confident of good ... With this method ... rejoice always, though in the midst of sorrows, and possess all things, though destitute of everything. — James Freeman Clarke

Freeman Mind Quotes By Solomon Northup

The terrible lesson Burch taught me, impressed indelibly upon my mind the danger and uselessness of asserting I was a freeman. There was no possibility of any slave being able to assist me, while, on the other hand, there was a possibility of his exposing me. — Solomon Northup

Freeman Mind Quotes By Freeman Dyson

Life is nature's way to give mind oportunities it wouldn't otherwise had. — Freeman Dyson

Freeman Mind Quotes By Morgan Freeman

I like the character roles. Somewhere back there I really came to the conclusion in my mind that the difference between acting and stardom was major. And that if you become a star, people are going to go to see you. If you remain an actor, they're going to go and see the story you're in. — Morgan Freeman

Freeman Mind Quotes By Freeman Dyson

Atoms are weird stuff, behaving like active agents rather than inert substances. They make unpredictable choices between alternative possibilities according to the laws of quantum mechanics. It appears that mind, as manifested by the capacity to make choices, is to some extent inherent in every atom. The universe is also weird, with its laws of nature that make it hospitable to the growth of mind. I do not make any clear distinction between mind and God. God is what mind becomes when it passes beyond the scale of our comprehension. — Freeman Dyson

Freeman Mind Quotes By Morgan Freeman

If you're playing somebody who is not you, then you can imagine that you are that person. You can feel like he feels, move like he moves, look like he looks - in your own mind. — Morgan Freeman

Freeman Mind Quotes By Cathy Freeman

My mind is pretty made up that life for Cathy Freeman will be as an unmarried woman from now on. — Cathy Freeman

Freeman Mind Quotes By Clint Eastwood

When anybody gives you an award, it could be wrong. You've just got to bear that it mind and go ahead and enjoy it. Like Morgan [Freeman] says, it's a pat on the back, so great you'll take it and then move on. — Clint Eastwood

Freeman Mind Quotes By Douglas Southall Freeman

Character is that quality of mind which makes truth-telling instinctive rather than strange. — Douglas Southall Freeman

Freeman Mind Quotes By Richard M. Weaver

It is an ancient belief, going back to classical antiquity, that specialization of any kind is illiberal in a freeman. A man willing to bury himself in the details of some small endeavor has been considered lost to these larger considerations which must occupy the mind of the ruler. — Richard M. Weaver

Freeman Mind Quotes By Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman

No matter how tired or wretched I am, a pussycat sitting in a doorway can divert my mind. — Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman

Freeman Mind Quotes By Freeman Dyson

In the history of science it happens not infrequently that a reductionist approach leads to a spectacular success. Frequently the understanding of a complicated system as a whole is impossible without an understanding of its component parts. And sometimes the understanding of a whole field of science is suddenly advanced by the discover of a single basic equation. Thus it happened that the Schrodinger equation in 1926 and the Dirac equation in 1927 brought a miraculous order into the previously mysterious processes of atomic physics. The equations of Erwin Schrodinger and Paul Dirac were triumphs of reductionism. Bewildering complexities of chemistry and physics were reduced to two lines of algebraic symbols. These triumphs were in Oppenheimer's mind when he belittled his own discovery of black holes. Compared with the abstract beauty and simplicity of the Dirac equation, the black hole solution seemed to him ugly, complicated, and lacking in fundamental significance. — Freeman Dyson

Freeman Mind Quotes By Aaron McGruder

One more spin around the sun ... Ain't nuthin' changed. Still got trouble on my mind. Still got suckas that need to get dealt with ... Still in mortal combat with the wicked ... — Aaron McGruder

Freeman Mind Quotes By Freeman Dyson

You ask: what is the meaning or purpose of life? I can only answer with another question: do you think we are wise enough to read God's mind? — Freeman Dyson

Freeman Mind Quotes By Morgan Freeman

You can make anything into a play for the simple reason that the human mind is one of the best writers in the business. So, if you've got a writer who's clever enough to give you enough clues, you will fill out every blank spot in a play, every single one. — Morgan Freeman

Freeman Mind Quotes By Morgan Freeman

Costume is always an asset. Normal costume you have a lot to say about - if you're wearing suits or ties, and what color you want, and how it's going to be cut, and stuff like that, and whether or not you're going to wear a hat, and blah, blah, blah. But, when you're wearing a special costume, and of course, costume is probably the second ingredient in character, script being first, I always find that the costume does a lot to cement your character, to put it firmly in mind. — Morgan Freeman

Freeman Mind Quotes By Emily P. Freeman

What if you began to see your art as something other than your idea? What if it was less lofty and more necessary to your daily rhythm? What if your art is part of a bigger picture, part of a daily grace God has in mind for someone else? — Emily P. Freeman

Freeman Mind Quotes By Freeman Dyson

Galison uses the phrase "critical opalescence" to sum up the story of what happened in 1905 when relativity was discovered. Critical opalescence is a strikingly beautiful effect that is seen when water is heated to a temperature of 374 degrees Celsius under high pressure. 374 degrees is called the critical temperature of water. It is the temperature at which water turns continuously into steam without boiling. At the critical temperature and pressure, water and steam are indistinguishable. They are a single fluid, unable to make up its mind whether to be a gas or a liquid. In that critical state, the fluid is continually fluctuating between gas and liquid, and the fluctuations are seen visually as a multicolored sparkling. The sparkling is called opalescence because it is also seen in opal jewels which have a similar multicolored radiance. — Freeman Dyson

Freeman Mind Quotes By Anna Freeman

I'd become an uncertain creature in her mind, and I found I liked it; she couldn't fathom what else I might be doing when her eyes weren't on me. — Anna Freeman

Freeman Mind Quotes By Becky Freeman

An intriguing mind is a powerful aphrodisiac. — Becky Freeman
