The most important point is to accept yourself and stand on your two feet.

~ Shunryu Suzuki

The surest sign of spiritual progress is a total lack of concern about progress. There is an utter absence of anxiety about anything like liberation and a sort of hollowness in one's being, a kind of looseness and involuntary surrender to whatever might happen.

~ Ramesh S. Balsekar

Do what you can
With what you have
Where you are.

~ Theodore Roosevelt

Beauty appears when something is completely and absolutely and openly itself.

~ Deena Metzger

Well I define fundamentalism as the attempt to impose a
single 'truth' on a plural world. And what really lies behind it
is fear, a profound insecurity that makes you feel when you
meet someone who is not like you, or doesn't agree with you,
that that challenge is a threat against your very being.
Aggression is always a sign of insecurity. And insecurity is
always, at bottom, a lack of faith, not a presence of faith.

~ Rabbi Jonathan Sacks

See everything
Overlook a great deal
Improve a little

~ Pope John XXIII

"The enlightened ones have no boundaries,
but respect those of others."

"If you hate a person, you hate something in him
that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves
doesn't disturb us."
- Hermann Hesse

The first lesson to learn is to resign oneself to
the little difficulties in life, not to hit out at every-
thing one comes up against. If one were able
to manage this one would not need to cultivate
great power; even one's presence would be
healing. Such a person is more precious than
the branch of the rose, for that has many thorns
but only a few flowers.

~ Hazrat Inayat Khan

Fighting the ego, the mind, is precisely
what the ego wants. You cannot fight the
mind. You cannot suppress the ego.
Fighting, resisting, controlling it is an im-
possible action. What is really needed is a
negative or feminine action. That is to yield,
to allow things to be as they are.
- Ramesh S. Balsekar

The moment that judgment stops through
acceptance of what is, you are free of the
mind.

~ Eckhart Tolle
