Here are a few from one of my favorite spiritual teachers.

“A man will renounce any pleasures you like but he will not give up his suffering.” --George Gurdjieff

“Religion is doing; a man does not merely think his religion or feel it, he ''lives'' his religion as much as he is able, otherwise it is not religion but fantasy or philosophy.”
--George Gurdjieff

"A man may be born, but in order to be born he must first die, and in order to die he must first awake." --George Gurdjieff

This one is from my Master.."Any human being who is becoming independent of conditionings, of religions, scriptures, prophets and messiahs, has arrived home. He has found the treasure which was hidden in his own being".

Here's another one.
"Meaning is man-created. And because you constantly look for meaning, you start to feel meaninglessness".

Osho

When we gain great power we must give it away
A cup cannot be filled until it is emptied

--William G Gray, English Hermetic Kabbalist, founder of the Sangreal Solidality



"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."

- Israel Regardie (paraphrasing and stealing from Calvin Coolridge)​

 

[Adramelek]

"Madness is like gravity, all it needs is a little push." - The Joker

"That which does not kill you will make you stronger". - Friedrich Nietzsche

"The Devil has the broadest perspectives for God; therefore he keeps so far away from God - the Devil being the most ancient friend of wisdom." - Friedrich Nietzsche

"Never enter a business deal with anyone who has less than yourself." Anton LaVey

 

[Siddha Buddha]

No turning, no method, no inwardness or outwardness; Simple Heart recognition and communion (with a Realized One) are all that is needed. The Heart is the practice, the revelation, and the Realization. The Heart Is the Teaching; It Is the Revelation of Truth Manifest right Now – the Heart Just Is. Heart~Fire is the living communication that is Transmitted through All Realizers. Every person that has Ever Realized Self/God/Truth is completely saturated with God's Divine Love and Presence, and those Awakened Ones Acknowledge One True Identity of All. The Transmission is Transcendent of tradition or religion, Truth Is transcendent of All. Thus, when people try to monopolize God’s Spirit through a particular way (religion or tradition), they inherently fail, and ultimately communicate a distorted message, with dogma and belief as the foundation.

The Heart is Present, it is always present, and It just Is, regardless of the appearance of reality. The Heart of Truth never moves, it never changes location, and it never lacks a tangible presence everywhere existence exists. The Heart of Consciousness is the living teaching of Self. It reveals ItSelf to the body/mind As the if the body/mind Is It. Furthermore, the Heart Actually Is the body/mind, yet through the conditioning of the body’s consciousness the Heart of Consciousness, which is perpetually present As the Very Substance of existence, is ignored moment to moment.

This is mine.

 

[Gjallarhorn]

"This universe, which is the same for all, has not been made by any god or man, but it always has been, is, and will be an ever-living fire, kindling itself by regular measures and going out by regular measures." - Heraclitus

"You could not step twice into the same river; for other waters are ever flowing on to you." - Heraclitus

"The road up and the road down is one and the same." - Heraclitus

"It is the stillest words that bring on the storm. Thoughts that come on doves' feet guide the world." -Nietzsche (as Zarathustra)
