• Mind is like a raft of snakes you cling to on the ocean for fear of drowning and the snakes are biting you. By Kabir
• The mind becomes clear and serene when the qualities of the heart are cultivated: friendliness toward the joyful, compassion toward the suffering, happiness toward the pure, and impartiality toward the impure.
-The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, 1:33
• The mind is an object of perception like the eternal world. The Atman, the real seer, remains unknown.
-Pantanjali
• Don't think about ideas such as bondage and liberation, simply abandon all craving and through wisdom and dispassion bring about the cessation of the mind. Even if the wish "may I be liberated" arises, the mind will come back to life. - Maharamayana
• You'll never plow a field by turning it over in your mind. - Irish Proverb
