Some are fairer bound than others, and some that lack in show make up in durability of binding and in the value of their contents. Some are pious and some profane, some full of wisdom and some full of folly, but each must have a final page with the word 'Finis'." ~Richard Gove

Sharon Salzberg Quotes

"As we practice meditation we are bringing forth ease, presence, compassion, wisdom & trust." ~Sharon Salzberg

"Each decision we make, each action we take, is born out of an intention." ~Sharon Salzberg

"If we fall, we don"t need self-recrimination or blame or anger — we need a reawakening of our intention and a willingness to recommit, to be wholehearted once again. Each decision we make, each action we take, is born out of an intention." ~ Sharon Salzberg

Loving kindness is the spirit of friendship toward yourself and others. ~Sharon Salzberg

"Often we can achieve an even better result when we stumble yet are willing to start over, when we don't give up after a mistake, when something doesn't come easily but we throw ourselves into trying, when we're not afraid to appear less than perfectly polished." ~Sharon Salzberg

"We can travel a long way and do many things, but our deepest happiness is not born from accumulating new experiences. It is born from letting go of what is unnecessary, and knowing ourselves to be always at home." ~Sharon Salzberg

"We need the courage to learn from our past and not live in it." ~Sharon Salzberg

"What unites us as human beings is an urge for happiness, which at heart is a yearning for union." ~Sharon Salzberg

"When we practice mindfulness, one of the qualities that we are developing is empathy. As we open to the full range of experiences within ourselves, we become aware of what we perceive in each moment, no longer denying some feelings while clinging to others. By coming to know our own pain, we build a bridge to the pain of others, which enables us to step out of our self-absorption and offer help. And when we actually understand how it feels to suffer - in ourselves and others - we are compelled to live in a way that creates as little harm as possible." ~Sharon Salzberg
