Change

The black cloud will disappear: the morning sun will appear once again in all its glory. Sri Chinmoy

Silence

Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer. Dalai Lama

Longing

Your first task is to see the sorrow in you and around you; your next, to long intensely for liberation. The very intensity of longing will guide you; you need no other guide. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Learning

With unfailing kindness, your life always presents what you need to learn. Whether you stay home or work in an office or whatever, the next teacher is going to pop right up. Charlotte Joko Beck

Peace

Everything you do should be done with peace. That is the best medicine for your body, mind, and soul. It is the most wonderful way to live. Paramahansa Yogananda

Filling

To fill the hour—that is happiness; to fill the hour and leave no crevice for a repentance or an approval. 
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life

Life is not a “Brief Candle.” It is a splendid torch that I want to make burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations. George Bernard Shaw

The Search

At some point, the illusion breaks down and the opening for the start of the spiritual quest commences. The quest turns from without to within and the search for answers begins. David R. Hawkins

Trouble

Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble.
Carl Jung

To Love

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
