“All your trouble comes from lack of exercise. A man of your strength and constitution ought always to have kept physically active. So don't jibe at the very wise advice that sentences you to one hour's walk a day. You imagine the work of the mind takes place only in the brain; but you're much mistaken. It takes place in the legs as well.” MenMindWellsHoursWalksBrainWiseImagineTroubleAdviceOughtWalkingExerciseConstitutionLegsActiveSentencesMistakenOne HourVery WisePhysically ActiveWise Advice Author:George Sand

“Its my belief that you can take everyone down a logical path if you take them slowly enough, and the trouble is that mathematical brains can get scrambled a little bit on the way.

“I don't know but a book in a man's brain is better off than a book bound in calf--at any rate it is safer from criticism. And taking a book off the brain, is akin to the ticklish & dangerous business of taking an old painting off a panel--you have to scrape off the whole brain in order to get at it with due safety--& even then, the painting may not be worth the trouble.” KnowsMenMayBookWholeOrderBrainCreativityTroubleDangerousPaintingCriticismSafetyRateBoundsDuesBetter OffCalvesTicklish Author:Herman Melville

“Stammering is different than stuttering. Stutterers have trouble with the letters, while stammerers trip over entire parts of a sentence. We stammerers generally think of ourselves as very bright. My own private theory is that stammerers have so many ideas swirling around their brains at once that they can't get them all out, though I haven't found any scientific evidence to back that up.” ThinkingIdeasDifferentFoundMy OwnBrainTroubleHavensTheoryEvidenceLettersSentencesStutteringScientific EvidenceStammering Author:Bob Newhart

“Every thought, feeling, and emotion creates a molecule known as a neuropeptide. Neuropeptides travel throughout your body and hook onto receptor sites of cells and neurons. Your brain takes in the information, converts it into chemicals, and lets your whole body know if there's trouble in the world or cause for celebration. Your body is directly influenced as these molecules course through the bloodstream, delivering the energetic effect of whatever your brain is thinking and feeling.” IfsThinkingKnowsWorldWholeFeelingsBodyCoursesCausesEmotionBrainKnownTroubleEffectsInformationYour BodyCellsChemicalsCelebrationSiteHookFeelings And EmotionsEnergeticMoleculesDeliveringNeurons Author:Deepak Chopra
