Christian Nestell Bovee Mind Quotations

Successful minds work like a gimlet--to a single point.

Books are embalmed minds.

The most brilliant flashes of wit come from a clouded mind, as lightning leaps only from an obscure firmament.

Few minds wear out; more rust out.

Difficulties, by bracing the mind to overcome them, assist cheerfulness, as exercise assists digestion.

At the best, sarcasms, bitter irony, scathing wit, are a sort of swordplay of the mind. You pink your adversary, and he is forthwith dead; and then you deserve to be hung for it.
