Not being able to govern events, I govern myself.

~ Michel de Montaigne

Forget about your life situation and pay attention to your life. Your life situation exists in time. Your life is now. Your life situation is mind-stuff. Your life is real.

~ Eckhart Tolle

The

admirable

people who personify the system are indeed well known for not being what they seem to be; they have achieved greatness by embracing a level of reality lower than that of the most insignificant individual life- and everyone knows it.

~ Guy Debord

Everyone has a 2am and a 2pm personality. I'm more interested in the monster you become at 2am rather than the human being you pretend to be at 2pm.

~ Author Unknown

Don't ever feel bad for making a decision that upsets other people. You are not responsible for their happiness. You are responsible for your happiness.

~ Isaiah Henkel

We have long ago forgotten what it means to contemplate some- thing. With the click of a computer mouse we can get the answer, or what promises to be the answer, to almost any question we can imagine. All of the world's most ancient spiritual teachings are but a click or download away, and yet we remain so lost to ourselves, so cut off from what nourishes the soul, that we are collectively suffocating under the weight of our ignorance and alienation from the sacred dimension of Life.

~ Adyashanti

I eventually came to understand that in harboring the anger, the bitterness and resentment towards those that had hurt me, I was giving the reins of control over to them. Forgiving was not about accepting their words and deeds. Forgiving was about letting go and moving on with my life. In doing so, I had finally set myself free.

~ Isabel Lopez

Before you know it it's 3 am and you're 80 years old and you can't remember what it was like to have 20 year old thoughts or a 10 year old heart.

~ Author Unknown

The more you think and talk,
The more you lose the Way.
Cut off all thinking
And pass freely anywhere.

~ Hsin Hsin Ming

What's the worst thing I've stolen? Probably little pieces of other people's lives. Where I've either wasted their time or hurt them in some way. That's the worst thing you can steal, the time of other people. You just can't get that back.

~ Chester Bennington

I don't mind what happens. That is the essence of inner freedom. It is a timeless spiritual truth: release attachment to outcomes, deep inside yourself, you'll feel good no matter what.

~ Jiddu Krishnamurti

You can recognize genuinely smart people by their ability to say things like 'I don't know', 'Maybe you're right' and 'I don't understand'

~ Paul Buchheit

It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one's life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than 'Try to be a little kinder.'

~ Aldous Huxley

When you say, 'I enjoy doing this or that', it is really a misperception. It makes it appear that the joy comes from what you do, but that is not the case. Joy does not come from what you do, it flows into what you do and thus into this world from deep within you.

~ Eckhart Tolle

My entire life can be described in one sentence: It didn't go as planned, and that's okay.

~ Rachel Wolchin

The little things? The little moments? - They aren't little.

~ Jon Kabat-Zinn

We have come into this exquisite world to experience ever and ever more deeply our divine courage, freedom, and light.

~ Hafiz

If you don't like someone, the way he holds his spoon will make you furious; if you do like him, he can turn his plate over into your lap and you won't mind.

~ Irving Becker

Fearlessness is the first requisite of spirituality. Cowards can never be moral.

~ Mahatma Gandhi

We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.

~ Thich Nhat Hanh
