Mind Quotes
(45+ quotes)

Mind quotes remind us to keep our minds open and monitor our thoughts. Our minds create our world with our thoughts. We also see everything though our mind’s filters. 

That is why two people looking at the same scene will notice different things. Our minds also provide storage space for our memories. Another name for mind is ‘ego’. Do your best to stay out of it.
