Spiritual Quotes

Undertaking a spiritual quest for knowledge, whether it has been a part of your life for a long time or you are just awakening to the possibilities, can be a difficult task. There are many ways to begin; it can be tough to know the right spiritual direction for you. If you are having trouble getting started, why not have a little help? In every generation, spiritual seekers have sought answers to the same questions we still ask today. Their spiritual quotes can help you articulate those questions to yourself as you go about searching for answers.

For example, His Holiness the Dalai Lama explains, amongst his greatest sources of inspiration, spiritual quotes from the writings of the renowned eighth century Buddhist saint Shantideva:

For as long as space endures
And for long as living beings remain,
Until then may I too abide
To dispel the misery of the world.

Many have been, in turn, inspired by the words of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Take a look through our list of spiritual teachers and read about their works. Gain wisdom from their quotes as you begin your own journey. After all, to move forward we must build on the work done in the past.
