Best Quotes about Spirituality

You cannot travel on the path until you become the path itself.

Buddha

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

Jung, Carl

When the belly is empty, the body becomes spirit; and when it is full, the spirit becomes body.

Saadi

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

This latter day work is spiritual. It takes spirituality to comprehend it, to love it, to discern it. Therefore, seek the spirit in all you do. Keep it with you continually. That is our challenge.

Benson, Ezra Taft

But the thing that I saw in your face no power can disinherit: No bomb that ever burst shatters the crystal spirit.

Orwell, George

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

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.

Whether we name divine presence synchronicity, serendipity, or graced moment matters little. What matters is the reality that our hearts have been understood. Nothing is as real as a healthy dose of magic which restores our spirits.

Long, Nancy

13.

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

Joubert, Joseph

14.

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.

15.

Let the spirit of adventure set the tone.

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

18.

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.

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

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

Hui-Hai

27.

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

28.

Spiritual power begins by directing animal power to other than egoistic ends.

Ruskin, John

Ebner-Eschenbach, Marie

30.

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

FeNelon, Francois

31.

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

The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another s, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises.

Buscaglia, Leo

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

35.

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

Champman, George

36.

The man or woman who concentrated on Things can hardly be trusted to use those things for the essential good of mankind. Only those who have guided the development of their spirit as well as their mind are really; qualified to use wisely the things that man's reason has enabled him to fashion out of nature's raw materials.

Fields, E. S.

37.

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

38.

Ghosts only exist for those who wish to see them.

Holtei

Machado, Antonio

44.

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

You are not a human being in search of a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being immersed in a human experience.

Chardin, Pierre Teilhard De

Chopra, Deepak

47.

What spirit is so empty and blind, that it cannot recognize the fact that the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful that the garment with which it is clothed?

Michelangelo

Wolfe, Thomas

49.

He that loseth wealth, loseth much; he that loseth friends, loseth more; but he that loseth his spirit loseth all.

50.

But those rare souls whose spirit gets magically into the hearts of men, leave behind them something more real and warmly personal than bodily presence, an ineffable and eternal thing. It is everlasting life touching us as something more than a vague, recondite concept. The sound of a great name dies like an echo; the splendor of fame fades into nothing; but the grace of a fine spirit pervades the places through which it has passed, like the haunting loveliness of mignonette.

Thurber, James
