Famous Quotes & Sayings

Eckhart Tolle

The ego wants to want more than it wants to have.

Dalai Lama

We may now have reached a point where this gap in our make-up has become unsustainable; partly because what in the past would have counted as material plenty has become the norm for the majority in much of the world; and partly because the slow retreat of religion that coincided with the spread of a capitalist economy has left a gaping hole in millions of people's lives. (Geoff Mulgan)

Dalai Lama

I want to be just a pure spiritual leader.

Dalai Lama

The message of love and compassion will travel far and wide if all who follow a spiritual path work together in harmony and mutual respect.

Dalai Lama

Material progress and a higher standard of living bring us greater comfort and health, but do not lead to a transformation of the mind, which is the only thing capable of providing lasting peace. Profound happiness, unlike fleeting pleasures, is spiritual in nature. It depends on the happiness of others and it is based on love and affection.

Dolly Parton

There is no situation that is not transformable. There is no person who is hopeless. There is no set of circumstances that cannot be turned about by ordinary human beings and their natural capacity for love of the deepest sort.

Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu

Every praying person, every person who has an encounter with God, must have a passionate concern for his or her brother and sister, his or her neighbor. To treat any of these as if he were less than the child of God is to deny the validity of one's spiritual existence.

Charles Dickens

The cloud of caring for nothing, which overshadowed him with such a fatal darkness, was very rarely pierced by the light within him.
