Shunryu Suzuki
Image
The one impulse in man which cannot be erased is his impulse toward freedom, his impulse toward sanity, toward higher levels of attainment in all of his endeavors.
L. Ron Hubbard
Image
Seek the Path, do not seek attainment, Seek for the Path within yourself. Do not expect to hear the truth from others, nor to see it, or read it in books. Look for the truth in yourself, not without yourself.
P.D. Ouspensky

The ability to discriminate between that which is true and that which is false is one of the last attainments of the human mind.
James F. Cooper
Image
Human nature, at its best, had always been based on a deep heroic restlessness, on wanting something-something else, something more, whether it be true love or a glimpse just beyond the horizon. It was the promise of happiness, not the attainment of it, that had driven the entire engine, the folly and glory of who we are.
Will Ferguson
Image

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities. Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. But with self-confidence you can succeed. A sense of inferiority and inadequacy interferes with the attainment of your hopes, but self-confidence leads to self-realization and successful achievement.
Norman Vincent Peale
Image
Success should not necessarily be gauged by always reaching the goal set, but by progress and attainment.
Spencer W. Kimball
Image
Enlightenment is not an attainment it is a realization. And when you wake up, everything changes and nothing changes. If a blind man realizes that he can see, has the world changed?
