Quotes from the Masters and Teachers

[Clover]

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

[A human Being]

Beautiful quote, Clover, Dr. King was an undeniably inspiring man

'What you are is the only thing that you cannot acquire. That's the beauty of it. You can acquire everything but God. You can't acquire God. All you can do is stop lying and realise that you are God.' - Adyashanti

"Suffering just means you're having a bad dream. Happiness means you're having a good dream. Enlightenment means getting out of the dream altogether. Words like suffering and happiness and compassion are just bags of rocks. Eventually, you'll have to set them down if you want to keep going." - Jed McKenna

^ I ♥ Master Adyashanti.

"Without courage we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest."
-Maya Angelou

[Clover]

Always Do Your Best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

Don Miguel Ruiz

'If you are depressed,
You are living in the past.
If you are anxious,
You are living in the future.
If you are at peace,
You are living in the present.'

Lao Tzu

You're very welcome, Miss H It's a quote I find useful if I AM ever feeling anxious or depressed, and I figured others might find it useful too:)

Oh and nice quotes, H:O:R:A:C:E, I particularly liked the last one :)

[A human Being]

'Happiness will find you if you're available. Available means, the willingness to surrender, to give up the fight; the willingness to be uncomfortable, the willingness to be vulnerable, the willingness to be agitated, irritated, frustrated. The willingness to face what you don't want, and to tell the truth: "I don't want this, I don't wanna feel this, I don't want this going on, I'm tired of it, I'm sick of it" - whatever. That's fine; I don't mean you like it, but it's important to tell it like it is.' - Jon Bernie
