Eckhart Tolle

The only thing that is ultimately real about your journey is the step that you are taking at this moment. That’s all there ever is.

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

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

I cannot tell you any spiritual truth that you don’t know already. All I can do is remind you of what you have forgotten.

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.

The first farmer was the first man. All historic nobility rests on the possession and use of land.

Its proper use is to amuse the idle, and relax the studious, and dilute the full meals of those who cannot use exercise, and will not use abstinence.

Every other enjoyment malice may destroy; every other panegyric envy may withhold; but no human power can deprive the boaster of his own encomiums.

There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.

The savage in man is never quite eradicated.

If thou rise with an Appetite, thou art sure never to sit down without one.

This is the comfort of the godly: the grave cannot hold them, and they live as soon as they die. For death is no more than turning us over from time to eternity.

This comes of James teaching me to think for myself, and never to hold back out of fear of what other people may think of me. It works beautifully as long as I think the same things as he does.

He that does good for good’s sake seeks neither paradise nor reward, but he is sure of both in the end.

She was no longer wrestling with the grief, but could sit down with it as a lasting companion and make it a sharer in her thoughts.

Not one word, not one gesture of yours shall I, could I, ever forget…

Concentration is the secret of strength in politics, in war, in trade, in short, in all the management of human affairs.

That kind of life is most happy which affords us most opportunities of gaining our own esteem.

It is better that some should be unhappy than that none should be happy, which would be the case in a general state of equality.

Loyalty is still the same, whether it win or lose the game; true as a dial to the sun, although it be not shined upon.
