So I thought we'd take a little break today. I've collected a handful of some of my favorite "thinking" quotes that I've run across as I've researched this topic.
They are both thought provoking and disturbing. The last one in particular.
*****

A bookstore is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking. ~ Jerry Seinfeld

She that fails to command her thoughts will soon lose command of her actions. ~ Unknown
Reading without reflecting is like eating without digesting. ~ Edmund Burke
Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny. ~ Unknown

What luck for rulers, that men do not think. ~ Adolph Hitler
