Inspiration Quote by Eknath Easwaran — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Good books are rare, and to have a really good library, a few shelves are all we need. When I was still on my campus in India, I was convinced, like many professors, that if the Lord was to be found anywhere, it was in the lower stacks of the library. But now - just as when I go into a big department store, I can say, "How many things I don't need! How many expensive suits I don't want!" - when I enter a big library I say, "What tomes I don't have to read again! What folios I will never open!" This feeling of freedom will come to all of us when we realise, in the depths of our meditation, that all wisdom lies within.”

“Through meditation and by giving full attention to one thing at a time, we can learn to direct attention where we choose.”

“Why do you want a new truth when you do not practice what you already know?”

“A rolling stone gathers no moss.”

“If there is no struggle, there is no progress.”

“Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door.”

“Let us resolve to be masters, not the victims, of our history, controlling our own destiny without giving way to blind suspicions and emotions.”

“A man of ability and the desire to accomplish something can do anything.”

“History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.”
