Quotes - Spiritual

God has placed in each soul a true guide to the light, but man struggles to find life outside himself, unaware that the life he is seeking is within him. - Gibran Khalil

Life is short. Time is fleeting. Realise the Self. Purity of the heart is the gateway to God. Aspire. Renounce. Meditate. Be good; do good. Be kind; be compassionate. Inquire, know Thyself. - William Hazlitt

The universal order and the personal order are nothing but different expressions and manifestations of a common underlying principle. - Marcus Aurelius

In man's life, time is but a moment; being, a flux; sense is dim; the material frame corruptible; soul, an eddy of breath; fortune a thing inscrutable, and fame precarious.

Bless are you if you can live each day in such a way that you can say at its close, “I Have done the best I could today for both God and man.”
