Gautama Buddha
Image
Very few people become enlightened in any given lifetime. On the planet earth their might be a dozen who are fully enlightened and several thousand who live in enlightened states of mind.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There have been errors in the administration of the most enlightened men.
Edward Law, 1st Earl of Ellenborough
Image
Prayers never bring anything... They may bring solace to the sap, the bigot, the ignorant, the aboriginal, and the lazy - but to the enlightened it is the same as asking Santa Claus to bring you something for Xmas
W. C. Fields
Image
Nirvana or lasting enlightenment or true spiritual growth can be achieved only through persistent exercise of real love.
M. Scott Peck
Image
One of the great dangers on the spiritual path is that the ego becomes spiritualized. The ego loves to think of itself as spiritually evolved. It is just another way that it manages to feel important and in control. It is very difficult to free yourself from an enlightened ego.
Leonard Jacobson
Image
It is you who are choosing, in any moment, to be happy or choosing to be sad, or choosing to be angry, or forgiving, or enlightened, or whatever. You are choosing.
Neale Donald Walsch

Frederick Lenz
Image
If you can't think of an enlightened person positively, don't think of them at all.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Nothing is born of nothing, least of all knowledge, modernity, or enlightened thought progress is made in tiny surges, in successive laps, like an endless relay race. But there are links without which nothing would be passed on, and for that reason, they deserve the gratitude of all who benefited from them.
Amin Maalouf
Image
Apart from worshiping God, everything becomes superficial. But when you understand the driving force behind everything, all of a sudden there's an eternal amount of joy at our disposal, because everything we do is enlightened and enlivened by the endless glory of the eternal God.
Matt Chandler
Image
The arbitrary rule of a just and enlightened prince is always bad. His virtues are the most dangerous and the surest form of seduction: they lull a people imperceptibly into the habit of loving, respecting, and serving his successor, whoever that successor may be, no matter how wicked or stupid.
Denis Diderot
Image
My son, by all means desist from kicking the venerable and enlightened Vizier: for as a costly jewel retains its value even if hidden in a dung-hill, so old age and discretion are to be respected even in the vile persons of our subjects. Desist therefore, and tell us what you desire and propose.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Without [hope and] confidence in a cause, there is no action. Ignorance may be enlightened, superstition wiped out intolerance may become tolerant, and hate be changed into love ideas may be quickened, intelligence widened, and men's hearts may be ennobled but from pessimism which can see nothing but gloomy visions nothing is to be expected.
Klas Pontus Arnoldson
Image
Now, of course, architecture is a blind spot of our life in America today. How many millions of students go to the university to be educated? They come away conditioned, not enlightened, and they know nothing of architecture, although they have a department somewhere around -- probably in the basement.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Image
Happy people, enlightened people, successful people all share something in common. They have learned how to manage and increase their energy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Intuition is a powerful tool that can heal the painful split we all feel between our earthly, mundane selves and our divine, eternal selves. When we realize that our spiritual knowledge is in us right now, and always has been, we become filled with light, light-hearted, and enlightened.
Penney Peirce
Image
If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.
William Blake
Image
To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If I'm okay with dying, my son is at least as enlightened as that. If I'm okay with my cancer, my son is at least as enlightened as I am.
Byron Katie
Image
A bore is someone who persists in holding his own views after we have enlightened him with ours.
Malcolm Forbes
Image

Ambrose Bierce
Image
Truly enlightened people never seek to be like others. Rather, they seek to be superior to their former selves.
Robin Sharma
Image
An enlightened man had but one duty - to seek the way to himself, to reach inner certainty, to grope his way forward, no matter where it led.
Hermann Hesse
