QUOTES

Everything you seek in this world is within you
Supreme joy blazes inside
But it is not enough merely to have an intellectual understanding of this
You have to go deep inside
The heart is the true house of God
It is the seat of happiness, the abode of unending love
Go there
~ Swami Muktananda

Whatever I am; that I want to understand. ~ Krishnamurti

If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
~ Sir Isaac Newton

You become the company you keep, so keep great company.
~ Gopala Ayer Sundaramoorthy

A tree that can fill the span of a man's arms grows from a downy tip; A terrance nine stories high rises from handfuls of earth; A journey of a thousand miles starts from beneath one's feet.
~ Lao Tzu

Be brave enough to live life creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You can't get there by bus, only by hard work and risk and by not quite knowing what you're doing. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover will be yourself.
 ~ Alan Alda

You cannot help, you can only serve. ~ Swami Vivekananda

Let me pray not to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them."
~ Tagore

Every one wants to command, and no one wants to obey; and this owing to the absence of that wonderful brahmacharya system of yore. First, LEARN TO OBEY. The command will come by itself. Always first learn to be a servant, and then you will be fit to be a master.
~ Swami Vivekananda

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
~ Henry David Thoreau

Awake awhile, be kind to your sleeping heart. Take it out into the vast fields of light and let it breathe.
~ Hafiz
