Make a man a fire and he'll be warm for a few hours. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Loved all of these - thank you for sharing them. I'm presently on a journey of mindfulness myself, reading all I can about the subject. I'd love to share quotes but cover to cover so many of these titles were beautiful in their entirety.

I began with Thich Nhat Hanh's Being Peace.

Then read the magnificently poetic writings of John O'Donohue, beginning with Anam Cara and presently, Beauty: The Invisible Embrace.

Gary D. Chapman's The Five Love Languages is, of course, a classic text filled with quotable excerpts.

Michael Harris' Solitude was a thoughtful exploration of unplugging from the world of noise and commotion and finding yourself.

And I've ordered several additional titles from Thich Nhat Hanh, including How to Love, True Love: A Practice for Awakening the Heart, and The Miracle of Mindfulness: A Manual on Meditation.

My Google Doc of excerpts from the texts above is quickly growing too large for a single document. Here are just a few highlights from Anam Cara -

Quote:

"We don't need to go out to find love; rather, we need to be still and let love discover us."

Quote:

"We cannot fill up our emptiness with objects, possessions, or people. We have to go deeper into that emptiness; then we find beneath nothingness the flame of love waiting to warm us."

Quote:

Stanislavsky, the Russian dramatist and thinker, said that “the longest and most exciting journey is the journey inwards.”

Quote:

“Ich stehe Mir im Weg” - “I am standing in my own way"

Quote:

T.S. Eliot:

"And in the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And to know the place for the first time."

"Man with hole in pocket
feels cocky all day"
Confucius

Ja I'd be surprised if a Chinese pun translated to English that well. Or maybe it was just a weird ass non-sequitur in Chinese and nobody understood wtf he meant.
