Rumi:

“There is my body, in it an ocean formed of his glory. All the creation. All the universes. All the galaxies are lost in it”

 

Ernest Holmes: 

“Never limit your view of life  by any past experience.”

 

Steve Jobs:

“Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.”

 

Frederick Buechner: 

 “Whenever you find tears in your eyes, especially unexpected tears, it is well to pay closet attention. They are not only telling you the secret of who you are, but the (divine) may be speaking to you through them  of the mystery of where you come from and is summoning you to where you should go next”

 

Thomas Merton: 

“In a world of noise, confusion and conflict, it is necessary that there be places of silence, inner discipline and peace. In such places love can blossom."
