Best Quotes about Spirituality

Pilgrim, Peace

Let the spirit of adventure set the tone.

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

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.

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

Upanishad, Brihadaranyaka

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

Ruskin, John

10.

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

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

Jung, Carl

14.

Spirit is matter seen in a stronger light.

Jacks, L. P.

15.

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

Nietzsche, Friedrich

16.

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

17.

Wherever you go, you will always bear yourself about with you, and so you will always find yourself.

Kempis, Thomas

18.

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

Rumi, Jalal-Uddin

19.

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

20.

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

Schweitzer, Albert

26.

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

Hubbard, Elbert

27.

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

28.

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

29.

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

30.

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

Diana, Princess of Wales

31.

He who interrupts the course of his spiritual exercises and prayer is like a man who allows a bird to escape from his hand; he can hardly catch it again.

John of the Cross, St.

32.

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.

33.

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

34.

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

35.

Keep yourself clean and bright. You are the windows through which you must view the world.

36.

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

37.

No ghost was every seen by two pair of eyes.

Carlyle, Thomas

38.

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

39.

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

Buddha

40.

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.

41.

The spiritual is the parent of the practical.

Carlyle, Thomas

42.

It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh.

Macarthur, Douglas

43.

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

Gogarty, Oliver St. John

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

49.

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

50.

Transformation literally means going beyond your form.

Dyer, Wayne
