I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.

 
John Locke
 

I try to avoid having thoughts. They lead to other thoughts, and—if you're not careful—those lead to actions. Actions make you tired. I have this on rather good authority from someone who once read it in a book.

 
Brandon Sanderson
 

[Beauty is] "Perfection of rhythm, balanced perfection of rhythm. Everything in Nature is expressed by rhythmic waves of light. Every thought and action is a light-wave of thought and action. If one interprets the God within one, one’s thoughts and actions must be balanced rhythmic waves. Ugliness, fears, failures and diseases arise from unbalanced thoughts and actions. Therefore think beauty always if one desire vitality of body and happiness."

 
Walter Russell
 

Thoughts don't hurt, actions do.

The universe doesn't give you what you ask for with your thoughts — it gives you what you demand with your actions.
