Best Quotes about Spirituality

At the center of our being is a point of nothingness which is untouched by sin and by illusion, a point of pure truth, a point or spark which belongs entirely to God, which is never at our disposal, from which God disposes of our lives, which is inaccessible to the fantasies of our own mind or the brutalities of our own will.

Merton, Thomas

Spirit is matter seen in a stronger light.

Jacks, L. P.

Be free all worthy spirits, and stretch yourselves, for greatness and for height.

Champman, George

Not by might, or power, but by my spirit, says the Lord.

Bible

Don't you believe that there is in man a deep so profound as to be hidden even to him in whom it is?

Augustine, St.

As long as I can remember I feel I have had this great creative and spiritual force within me that is greater than faith, greater than ambition, greater than confidence, greater than determination, greater than vision. It is all these combined. My brain becomes magnetized with this dominating force which I hold in my hand.

Lee, Bruce

Whatever befalls the earth befalls the son of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand of it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.

Seattle, Chief

Once spirit was God, then it became man, and now it is even becoming mob.

Nietzsche, Friedrich

The spiritual is the parent of the practical.

Carlyle, Thomas

10.

Walking uplifts the spirit. Breathe out the poisons of tension, stress, and worry; breathe in the power of God. Send forth little silent prayers of goodwill toward those you meet. Walk with a sense of being a part of a vast universe. Consider the thousands of miles of earth beneath your feet; think of the limitless expanse of space above your head. Walk in awe, wonder, and humility. Walk at all times of day. In the early morning when the world is just waking up. Late at night under the stars. Along a busy city street at noontime.

Peterson, Wilferd A.

11.

Return from existence to nonexistence. You are seeking the Lord and you belong to him. Nonexistence is a place of income; flee it not. This existence of more and less is a place of expenditure.

Rumi, Jalal-Uddin

12.

I'm aware that people I have loved and have died and are in the spirit world look after me.

15.

Spiritual energy flows in and produces effects in the phenomenal world.

James, William

16.

In the spiritual world there are no time divisions such as the past, present and future; for they have contracted themselves into a single moment of the present where life quivers in its true sense. The past and the future are both rolled up in this present moment of illumination, and this present moment is not something standing still with all its contents, for it ceaselessly moves on.

Suzuki, Daisetz T.

17.

The spirit of man is more important than mere physical strength, and the spiritual fiber of a nation than its wealth

Eisenhower, Dwight D.

18.

The adept may reach one of those rare moments that spell illumination -- aware of the light of the consciousness that illumines our consciousness as the sun dawns on the sleeping earth and bathes it in effulgence.

Khan, Pir Vilayat

19.

There is no easy formula for determining right and wrong livelihood, but it is essential to keep the question alive. To return the sense of dignity and honor to manhood, we have to stop pretending that we can make a living at something that is trivial or destructive and still have sense of legitimate self-worth. A society in which vocation and job are separated for most people gradually creates an economy that is often devoid of spirit, one that frequently fills our pocketbooks at the cost of emptying our souls.

Keen, Sam

20.

All earthly delights are sweeter in expectation than in enjoyment; but all spiritual pleasures more in fruition than in expectation.

FeNelon, Francois

24.

The man is free to rule his world, not his world rule him.

25.

Pure Spirit, one hundred degrees proof -- that's a drink that only the most hardened contemplation-guzzlers indulge in. Bodhisattvas dilute their Nirvana with equal parts of love and work.

Huxley, Aldous

26.

Impart as much as you can of your spiritual being to those who are on the road with you, and accept as something precious what comes back to you from them.

Schweitzer, Albert

27.

He who doesn't have the spirit of his time, has all its misery.

Voltaire

28.

There are some people who have the quality of richness and joy in them and they communicate it to everything they touch. It is first of all a physical quality; then it is a quality of the spirit.

Wolfe, Thomas

29.

Physical strength is measured by what we can carry; spiritual by what we can bear.

30.

Nothing is more repulsive than a furtively prurient spirituality; it is just as unsavory as gross sensuality.

Jung, Carl

31.

The possibility of stepping into a higher plane is quite real for everyone. It requires no force or effort or sacrifice. It involves little more than changing our ideas about what is normal.

Chopra, Deepak

32.

One truth stands firm. All that happens in world history rests on something spiritual. If the spiritual is strong, it creates world history. If it is weak, it suffers world history.

Schweitzer, Albert

33.

Every spirit makes its house, but as afterwards the house confines the spirit, you had better build well.

Hubbard, Elbert

34.

O Krishna, the stillness of divine union which you describe is beyond my comprehension. How can the mind, which is so restless, attain lasting peace? Krishna, the mind is restless, turbulent, powerful, violent; trying to control it is like trying to tame the wind.

Bhagavad Gita

35.

Spirit borrows from matter the perceptions on which it feeds and restores them to matter in the form of movements which it has stamped with its own freedom.

Bergson, Henri L.

36.

The valid research for the future is on the inner side, on the spiritual side.

Pilgrim, Peace

37.

I firmly believe that all human beings have access to extraordinary energies and powers. Judging from accounts of mystical experience, heightened creativity, or exceptional performance by athletes and artists, we harbor a greater life than we know. There we go beyond those limited and limiting patterns of body, emotions, volition, and understanding that have been keeping us in dry-dock. Instead we become available to our capacity for a larger life in body, mind, and spirit. In this state we know great torrents of delight.

Houston, Jean

38.

In order to experience everyday spirituality, we need to remember that we are spiritual beings spending some time in a human body.

Angelis, Barbara De

39.

People see his pleasure-ground; him no one sees at all.

Upanishad, Brihadaranyaka

40.

Under all that we think, lives all we believe, like the ultimate veil of our spirits.

Machado, Antonio

41.

Our lives as we lead them as passed on to others, whether in physical or mental forms, tingeing all future lives together. This should be enough for one who lives for truth and service to his fellow passengers on the way.

Burbank, Luther

42.

No ghost was every seen by two pair of eyes.

Carlyle, Thomas

43.

The sensual and spiritual are linked together by a mysterious bond, sensed by our emotions, though hidden from our eyes. To this double nature of the visible and invisible world -- to the profound longing for the latter, coupled with the feeling of the sweet necessity for the former, we owe all sound and logical systems of philosophy, truly based on the immutable principles of our nature, just as from the same source arise the most senseless enthusiasms.

Humboldt, Karl Wilhelm Von

44.

Without the spiritual world the material world is a disheartening enigma.

Joubert, Joseph

45.

Pilgrimage to the place of the wise is to find escape from the flame of separateness.

Rumi, Jalal-Uddin

46.

He whom God has touched will always be a being apart: he is, whatever he may do, a stranger among men; he is marked by a sign.

Renan, Ernest

47.

When you examine the lives of the most influential people who have ever walked among us, you discover one thread that winds through them all. They have been aligned first with their spiritual nature and only then with their physical selves.

Einstein, Albert

48.

The most spiritual human beings, assuming they are the most courageous, also experience by far the most painful tragedies: but it is precisely for this reason that they honor life, because it brings against them its most formidable weapons.

Nietzsche, Friedrich

49.

The one who count are those persons who-though they may be of little renown-respond to and are responsible for the continuation of the living spirit.

Buber, Martin

50.

They understand but a little who understand only what can be explained.

Ebner-Eschenbach, Marie
