Eckhart Tolle

Awareness is the greatest agent for change.

When you are present, you can allow the mind to be as it is without getting entangled in it.

All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness.

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

Stress is caused by being here but wanting to be there.

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

For the most important decisions in your life, trust your intuition, and then work with everything you have, to prove it right.

Kings in this should imitate God, their mercy should be above their works.

Glances of true beauty can be seen in the faces of those who live in true meekness.

There is no luck in literary reputation. They who make up the final verdict upon every book are not the partial and noisy readers of the hour when it appears; but a court as of angels, a public not to be bribed, not to be entreated, and not to be overawed, decides upon every man’s title to fame.

The giving of love is an education in itself.

Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a human achievement.

It was high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, ‘always do what you are afraid to do.’

There is also this benefit in brag, that the speaker is unconsciously expressing his own ideal. Humor him by all means, draw it all out, and hold him to it.

“I will breathe. I will think of solutions. I will not let my worry control me. I will not let my stress level break me. I will simply breathe and it will be okay because I don’t quit.”- Shayne Mcclendon

Youth gets together with their materials to build a bridge to the moon or maybe a palace on earth; then in middle age they decide to build a woodshed with them instead.

The need for change bulldozed a road down the center of my mind.

I do not hold that we should rearm in order to fight. I hold that we should rearm in order to parley.

What is it they want from a man that they didn’t get from his work? What do they expect? What is there left of him when he’s done his work? What’s any artist, but the dregs of his work? the human shambles that follows it around. What’s left of the man when the work’s done but a shambles of apology.

What we hope ever to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence.

If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world.
