Eckhart Tolle

Guilt, regret, resentment, sadness and all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past and not enough presence.

All the things that truly matter, beauty, love, creativity, joy and inner peace arise from beyond the mind.

Awareness is the greatest agent for change.

Wherever you are, be there totally.

Recognize the ego for what it is: a collective dysfunction, the insanity of the human mind.

Power over others is weakness disguised as strength. True power is within and available to you now.

Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning.

Rich men without convictions are more dangerous in modern society than poor women without chastity.

Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist.

While we ourselves are the living graves of murdered beasts, how can we expect any ideal conditions on this earth?

Looking? Found someone you have, eh?

Whenever you are sincerely pleased you are nourished.

Knowledge does not come to us in details, but in flashes of light from heaven.

Truth is neither alive nor dead; it just aggravates itself all the time.

He gains everyone’s approval who mixes the pleasant with the useful.

Girls, like men, want to be petted, pitied, and made much of, when they are diffident, in low spirits, or in unrequited love. These are services which the weak cannot render to the strong and which the strong will not render to the weak, except when there is also a difference of sex.

How can one be well…when one suffers morally?

The person that had took a bull by the tail once had learnt sixty or seventy times as much as a person that hadn’t, and said a person that started in to carry a cat home by the tail was getting knowledge that was always going to be useful to him, and warn’t ever going to grow dim or doubtful. Chances are, he isn’t likely to carry the cat that way again, either. But if he wants to, I say let him!

You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.

To know, is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge.

To regret deeply is to live afresh.
