Spirituality Quotes

[Dipika]

Death is a Dialogue between
The Spirit and the Dust.
"Dissolve" says Death—The Spirit "Sir
I have another Trust"—

Death doubts it—Argues from the Ground—
The Spirit turns away
Just laying off for evidence
An Overcoat of Clay.

The miracles of the church seem to me to rest not so much upon faces or voices or healing power coming suddenly near to us from afar off, but upon our perceptions being made finer, so that for a moment our eyes can see and our ears can hear what is there about us always. (Death Comes for the Archbishop, 1927)

As reflection is within the mirror,
So does your Lord abide within you,
Why search for him without ?

[Dipika]

The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is silence, the second listening, the third memory, the fourth practice, the fifth teaching others.


Years teach us more than books.

The more a man knows, the more he forgives.

On every thorn, delightful wisdom grows,
In every rill a sweet instruction flows.

The man of wisdom is never of two minds;
the man of benevolence never worries;
the man of courage is never afraid.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.

Happiness resides not in posessions and not in gold; the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul.

In the hopes of reaching the moon men fail to see the flowers that blossom at their feet.


The chances are that you have already come to believe that happiness is unattainable. But men have attained it. And they have attained it by realising that happiness does not spring from the procuring of physical or mental pleasure, but from the development of reason and the adjustment of conduct to principles.

There is only one way to happiness, and that is to cease worrying things which are beyond the power of our will.


Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Hope is the dream of the waking man.
French Proverb

The universe is change;
our life is what our thoughts make it.


It is better to fall short of a high mark than to reach a low one.

A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.


Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind

Just living is not enough.  One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.

A life without cause is a life without effect

Life is like a blanket too short.  You pull it up and your toes rebel, you yank it down and shivers meander about your shoulder; but cheerful folks manage to draw their knees up and pass a very comfortable night

Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.

[Dipika]

True happiness is not attained through self gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.


Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.


What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.


Whoever renders service to many puts himself in line for greatness - great wealth, great return, great satisfaction, great reputation, and great joy.

You must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing.
