You are not called to be a canary in a cage. You are called to be an eagle, and to fly sun to sun, over continents.

Henry Ward Beecher

Quotes       

God asks no man whether he will accept life. That is not the choice. He must accept it. The only choice is how.

Henry Ward Beecher

Quotes       

Difficulties are God's errands, and when we are sent upon them, we should esteem it a proof of God's confidence.

Henry Ward Beecher

Quotes       

We're all just walking each other home.

Ram Dass

American Author and Inspirational Speaker

Quotes  Books     

Remember, we are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter because we are so deeply interconnected. Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is the supreme creative act.

Ram Dass

American Professor and Spiritual Teacher

Quotes  Books     

Challenges are not presented to us as tests of our endurance. Challenges are presented to us as affirmations of our strength.

'Heaven on Earth' is a choice you must make,
not a place you must find.

Dr. Wayne Dyer

American Author and Inspirational Speaker

Quotes  Books     

You'll seldom experience regret for anything that you've done. It is what you haven't done that will torment you. The message, therefore, is clear. Do it! Develop an appreciation for the present moment. Seize every second of your life and savor it.

Dr. Wayne Dyer

American Author and Inspirational Speaker

Quotes  Books     

Everything is perfect in the universe - even your desire to improve it.

Dr. Wayne Dyer

American Author and Inspirational Speaker

Quotes  Books     

Once you believe in yourself
and see your soul as divine and precious,
you'll automatically be converted
to a being who can create miracles.

Dr. Wayne Dyer

American Author and Inspirational Speaker

Quotes  Books     

There is one grand lie -
that we are limited.
The only limits we have
are the limits we believe.

Dr. Wayne Dyer

American Author and Inspirational Speaker

Quotes  Books     

When you give of yourself something new comes in to being... the world expands, a bit of goodness is brought forth and a small miracle occurs. You must never underestimate this miracle. Too many good people think they have to become Mother Teresa or Albert Schweitzer, or even Santa Claus, and perform great acts if they are to be givers. They don't see the simple openings of the heart that can be practiced anywhere with almost anyone.

Kent Nerburn

American Author and Sculptor

Quotes  Books     

Strength is a force. It is an attribute of the heart. Its opposite is not weakness and fear, but confusion, lack of clarity, and lack of sound intention. Remember the words of Tao Te Ching. 'The only true strength is a strength that people do not fear.' Strength based in force is a strength people fear. Strength based in love is a strength people crave.

Quotes  Books     

One can live
magnificently
in this world
if one knows how to work
and how to love.

Leo Tolstoy

Russian Novelist and Social Reformer

Quotes  Books     

Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.

Lao Tzu

Quotes  Books     

At the center of your being
you have the answer;
you know who you are
and you know what you want.

Lao Tzu

Quotes  Books     

When you realize where you come from, you naturally become tolerant, amused, kindhearted as a grandmother, and dignified as a king. Immersed in wonder, you can deal with whatever life brings you, and when death comes, you are ready.

Lao Tzu

Quotes  Books     

If you want to identify me, ask me not where I live, or what I like to eat, or how I comb my hair, but ask me what I think I am living for, in detail, and ask me what I think is keeping me from living fully for the thing I want to live for.

Thomas Merton

American Author, Monk and Mystic

Quotes       

Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy

Thomas Merton

American Author, Monk and Mystic

Quotes       

What do I mean by loving ourselves properly? I mean first of all, desiring to live, accepting life as a very great gift and a great good, not because of what it gives us, but because of what it enables us to give to others.

Thomas Merton

American Author, Monk and Mystic

Quotes       

We forget sometimes that there are saints living among us. When we meet them, we are reminded, not just of the presence of pure divinity right here on earth, but also of our own potential, and of the responsibility we have to try to live up to it.

Deepak Chopra

Quotes  Books     

In our imaginations we believe that love is apart from us. Actually there is nothing but love, once we are ready to accept it. When you truly find love, you find yourself.

Deepak Chopra

Quotes  Books     

Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live,
it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

Oscar Wilde
