Best be still; best be empty. In stillness and emptiness we find where to abide. Talking and moving we lose the place.

Lao Tzu

Similar quotes

Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.

We do not heal the past by dwelling there. We heal the past by living fully in the present.

Marianne Williamson

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.

Henry David Thoreau

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.

Just try, try to be right here, open, honest, straight.

Become totally empty. Quiet the restlessness of the mind. Only then will you witness everything unfolding from emptiness.
