German Jewish Holocaust victim/writer

How wonderful it is thatnobody need wait a singlemoment before starting toimprove the world.

I simply can't build my hopeson a foundation of confusion,misery and death... I think...peace and tranquillity willreturn again.

We all live with the objective ofbeing happy; our lives are alldifferent and yet the same.

Who would ever think that somuch went on in the soul of ayoung girl?

No one has ever become poor by

giving.

And finally I twist my heart round again, so that the bad is on the outside and the good is onthe inside, and keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would so like to be, and could

be, if there weren't any other people living in the world.

~EckhartTolle~

Born 1948, date unknownGerman-born Canadian author

To end the misery that hasafflicted the human conditionfor thousands of years, youhave to start with yourself andtake responsibility for you innerstate at any given moment.

That means now.

Nothing ever happened in thepast that can prevent you frombeing present now; and if thepast cannot prevent you frombeing present now, what powerdoes it have?

Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of yourconsciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the

experience you are having at this moment.

If I cannot live with myself, there must be two of me.

Thinking and consciousnessare not synonymous. Thinkingis only a small aspect ofconsciousness. Thoughtcannot exist withoutconsciousness, butconsciousness does not needthought.

Forget about your lifesituation and pay attentionto your life. Your lifesituation exists in time. Yourlife is now. Your lifesituation is mind-stuff. Yourlife is real.

Compiler of the Yoga Sutras

Yoga is the cessation ofthe movements of themind. Then there isabiding in the Seer'sown form.

For those who have anintense urge for Spirit andwisdom, it sits near them,waiting.

Undisturbed calmnessof mind is attained bycultivating friendlinesstoward the happy,compassion for the

unhappy, delight in thevirtuous, andindifference toward thewicked.

Peace can be reachedthrough meditation onthe knowledge whichdreams give. Peace canalso be reached through

concentration upon thatwhich is dearest to theheart.

At a time like this, scorchingirony, not convincingargument, is needed.

Find out just what anypeople will quietly submit toand you have the exactmeasure of the injustice andwrong which will be imposedon them.

I didn't know I was a slaveuntil I found out I couldn't dothe things I wanted.

I prayed for twenty years

but received no answeruntil I prayed with my legs.

Without a struggle, there can be noprogress.

To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer aswell as those of the speaker.

The soul that is within meno man can degrade.

It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We needthe storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.
