On how to live

I'm really into religion and spirituality - though I don't believe in dogmas. I do believe in finding inspiration anywhere and learning from all spiritual traditions. In this hub you will find a selection of my favorite inspirational quotes. I hope you enjoy.

Be Content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.

Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

For a long time it has seemed to me that life was about to begin; Real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.

Father Albert D'Souza

Live through deeds of love, and let others live with tolerance for their unique intentions.

Rudolf Steiner

What could you not accept, if you but knew that everything that happens, all events, past, present, and to come, are gently planned by One Whose only purpose is your good?

A Course in Miracles

Everything in your life is there as a vehicle for your transformation. Use it!

By Ram Dass

About Religion

Can we be so entirely confident that to have been born in our particular part of the world carries with it the privilege of knowing the full religious truth?

John Hick

We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.

Stephen R. Covey

I love all religions, but I am in love with my own.

Mother Teresa Quote

Creeds, dogmas, doctrines, rituals, ceremonies, stained glass, altars, mitre, cope -- what have these to do with religion? Religion is in the spirit, the spirit that belongs to all Creation, which expresses itself in every rhythm and manifestation of life, that is revealed in every aspect of Nature and in the striving of all idealists and reformers who wish to serve. What has that to do with creeds?

Silver Birch, through the Mediumship of Maurice Barbanell

Failure and Success

You may be disappointed if you fail,
but you are doomed if you don't try.

Beverly Sills

A man who is sincere and makes philosophy his life's endeavor, will emanate that sincerity. A man who thinks it and lives it will touch the intuition of others.

By Richard Rose

Every calling is great when greatly pursued.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Spiritual growth quotes by Dr. Acharya Yogeesh

Meditation and stillness

IF you're afraid of being grabbed by God, don't look at a wall.

Definitely don't sit still.

Jiyu Kennett (Essential Zen)

  • Andrew Cohen Quotes from Evolutionary Enlightenment

    When we embark on the spiritual quest, most of us, understandably, are pursuing freedom or enlightenment for our own sake. This is why we begin by asking, What do I really want? What is more important to me than anything else? But once your intention has become clear, and you sincerely pursue that one-pointed aspiration, a profound [...] - 4 weeks ago

  • Lama Yeshe Quotes on Happiness – When the chocolate runs out

    We love chocolate. Perhaps so much so that on some level we may believe, “As long as I have chocolate, I’ll be happy.” This is the power of attachment at work. And based on this attachment, we create a chocolate-based philosophy and order our life prioritizing chocolate. But sometimes, we can’t get our hands on [...] - 5 months ago

  • Chogyam Trungpa Quotes on Work, Sex and Money

    Dharma teachings are not going to be romantic or beautiful – ho no! The teachings are going to be painful, even invoking paranoia. At the same time, we can work with the situation and find something creative in it. Chogyam Trungpa, Work, Sex, Money: Real life on the Path of Mindfulness, p. 7 For many [...] - 10 months ago

  • Khalil Gibran Quotes on Love

    My house says to me, “Do not leave me, for here dwells your past.” And the road says to me, “Come and follow me, for I am your future.” And I say to both my house and the road, “I have no past, nor have I a future. If I stay here, there is a [...] - 10 months ago

  • Shunryu Suzuki Zazen Meditation Quotes

    When you practice zazen you should not try to attain anything. You should just sit in the complete calmness of your mind and not rely on anything. Just keep your body straight without leaning over or against something. To keep your body straight means not to rely on anything. In this way, physically and mentally, [...] - 12 months ago

  • Short Pema Chodron Buddhism Quotes

    Life has taught me the wisdom of moving toward what scares me. Although it is embarrassing and painful, it is very healing to stop hiding from yourself. It is healing to know all the ways that you’re sneaky, all the ways that you hide out, all the ways that you shut down, deny, close off, [...] - 16 months ago

  • Albert Low zen quotes

    The vow of the Bodhisattva is that she will not go into Nirvana until every single suffering being has entered Nirvana. One has to understand what this means. Our awakening is not a personal triumph. We do not have to win a spiritual sprint. We are one mind. Awakening is to penetrate more and more [...] - 17 months ago
