To allot God a secondary place in life was, to me, inconceivable. Though He is the sole Owner of the cosmos, silently showering us with gifts from life to life, one thing yet remains which He does not own, and which each human heart is empowered to withhold or bestow – man’s love.
Paramahansa Yogananda
-
Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
Francis of Assisi
-
While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.
Francis of Assisi
-
Thou must be emptied of that wherewith thou art full, that thou mayest be filled with that whereof thou art empty.
Saint Augustine
-
A soul which gives itself to prayer, either much or little, should on no account be kept within narrow bounds.
Saint Teresa of Avila
-
Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation.
Saint Augustine
-
All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.
Swami Vivekananda
-
If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me.
Joan of Arc
-
To reach something good it is very useful to have gone astray, and thus acquire experience.
Saint Teresa of Avila
-
No one can be a yogi, maintaining a state of mental equilibrium, free from inner involvement in planned desireful activities, unless he has renounced identification with his ego and its unsatisfiable lust for the fruits of actions.
Paramahansa Yogananda
