"Love your solitude and try to sing out with the pain it causes you. For those who are near you are far away, and this shows that the space around you is beginning to grow vast. Be happy about your growth, in which of course you can't take anyone with you, and be gentle with those who stay behind. Be confident and calm in front of them and don't torment them with your doubts and don't frighten them with your faith or joy, which they wouldn't be able to comprehend. Seek out some simple and true feeling of what you have in common with them, which doesn't necessarily have to alter when you yourself change again and again. When you see them, love life in a form that is not your own and be indulgent toward those who are growing old, are afraid of the aloneness that you trust, and don't expect any understanding. But believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is a strength and a blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it." ~Rainer Maria Rilke

"Meditation is not an esoteric practice; it’s not something you do only in a meditation hall or Buddhist retreat center. It can happen right in whatever activity you’re doing — while walking, in the office. It means you are there, present with calm and peace." ~Phap Dung
"Meditation isn’t about becoming a different person, a new person, or even a better person. It’s about training in awareness and getting a healthy sense of perspective." ~Deep Thinker
"Meditation is not something that should be done in a particular position at a particular time. It is an awareness and an attitude that must persist throughout the day." ~Annamalai Swami
"Meditation is not to escape from society, but to come back to ourselves and see what is going on. Once there is seeing, there must be acting. With mindfulness, we know what to do and what not to do to help." ~Thich Nhat Hanh
"Meditation is silence. If you realize that you really know nothing, then you will be truly meditating. Such truthfulness is the right soil for silence. Silence is meditation." ~Yogaswami
"Meditation is the antidote to all the poisons of your life. It is the nourishment of your authentic nature." ~Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
"Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in Eternal awareness or Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity." ~Sivananda Saraswati
"Meditation is the golden key to all the mysteries of life." ~Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
"Meditation is the highest form of prayer. In it you are so close to God that you don't need to say a thing It's just great to be together." ~Swami Chetan
"Meditation is the most significant because it opens the door for all other significant things: love, prayer, God, light, music, poetry." ~Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
"Meditation is the soul's perspective glass." ~Owen Feltham
"Meditation makes you innocent, it makes you childlike. In that state, miracles are possible. That state is pure magic." ~Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
"Meditation, perhaps, is the only alchemy that can transform a beggar into an emperor." ~Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
"Meditation provides a way of learning how to let go. As we sit, the self we've been trying to construct and make into a nice, neat package continues to unravel." ~John Welwood
"Meditation stills the wandering mind and establishes us forever in a state of peace." ~Muktananda
"Mind is a door that leads you outside in the world; meditation is the door that leads you to your interiority—to the very innermost shrine of your being." ~Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
"Mindfulness meditation doesn't change life. Life remains as fragile and unpredictable as ever. Meditation changes the heart's capacity to accept life as it is." ~Sylvia Boorstein
"My whole effort here is to keep you as non-serious as possible, for the simple reason that meditation, all kinds of meditation, can make you too serious and that seriousness will create a spiritual disease and nothing else. Unless a meditation brings you more laughter, more joy, more playfulness, avoid it. It is not for you." ~Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
"Our minds and hearts need food. And meditation is a kind of food. So we feed ourselves like that. You need to eat, and your peace, kindness, clarity need to eat as well. Meditation is not just praying; no, you’re cultivating this so you can offer it to others." ~Phap Dung
"Seek in reading and thou shalt find in meditation; knock in prayer and it shall be opened in contemplation." ~John of the Cross
"Serenity is natural poetry and a meditation." ~Edward Soliangco
"Singing is meditation that massages the heart and brings your mind into the magic of the present moment." ~Woman with A Dream
"Spiritual meditation is the pathway to Divinity. It is a mystic ladder which reaches from earth to heaven, from error to Truth, from pain to peace." ~James Allen
"The deepest experiences in meditation lead us to an intimate awareness of life's essential openness and emptiness, of its ever-changing nature, of its nature as an unstoppable process." ~Jack Kornfield
"The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be his world and the world at large." ~Confucius
"The practice of meditation can, and should, be focused on the present. On the one hand, we silence the disturbing voices that bind us to the past. On the other, we must block the often frightening pictures that we ourselves create to represent our concerns about the future. Since our own fears create these pictures, they're neither comforting nor pleasant—and since there are countless possible futures that we have available to us, these "pictures" may not necessarily manifest as the actual future. Many of our personal conflicts and tensions can be resolved when meditation allows us to concentrate fully on the present. This is how we develop the ability to focus on what's important, minimizing extraneous thoughts. The practice of meditation needs persistence and tenacity, as negative thoughts may return repeatedly, often through mere force of habit. The past is finished. Learn from it and let it go. As for the future, it isn't even here yet—of course you should plan for it, but don't waste your time worrying about it. Worrying is worthless. When you stop focusing on what has already happened and what may never happen, then you'll be in the present moment. Then you'll begin to experience joy in life." ~Dr. Brian Weiss
"The practice of meditation is not a method for the attainment of realization it is enlightenment itself." ~Dogen
"The practice of reflective meditation, which consists of holding certain ideas in the mind long enough to enable them to form emotional connections, tends to break up the crust of habit and to create a new will." ~Walter M. Horton
"The you that goes in one side of the meditation experience is not the same you that comes out the other side." ~Bhante Henepola Gunaratana
"Through meditation you discover that while it is the brain that moves the body, it is the mind that moves the world." ~Stuart Avery Gold

Rizal (Words spoken by Elias from "Noli Me Tangere")“…As the tendency of countries that have been tyrannized over, when they once shake off the yoke, is to adopt the freest government… like the beat of the pendulum, by a law of reaction the Islands will probably declare themselves a FEDERAL Republic.” ~Jose Rizal, “The Philippines a Century Hence” (Rizal the Federalist)
"But I laid down as a prerequisite the education of the people in order that by means of such instruction, and by hard work, they may acquire a personality of their own and so become worthy of such liberties." ~Jose Rizal, Manifesto To Some Filipinos
"Filipinos don't realize that victory is the child of struggle, that joy blossoms from suffering, and redemption is a product of sacrifice." ["Como se gobiernan las Filipinas" (How one governs in the Philippines), published in La Solidaridad (15 December 1890)
"Genius has no country. It blossoms everywhere. Genius is like the light, the air. It is the heritage of all." [Toast to the artists Juan Luna and Felix Hidalgo: Madrid, Spain (25 June 1884)]
"God has made man a cosmopolite. He created seas for ships to glide on, the wind to push them, and the stars to guide them even in darkest night." "Los Viajes"]
"He who knows the surface of the earth and the topography of a country only through the examination of maps..is like a man who learns the opera of Meyerbeer or Rossini by reading only reviews in the newspapers. The brush of landscape artists Lorrain, Ruysdael, or Calame can reproduce on canvas the sun's ray, the coolness of the heavens, the green of the fields, the majesty of the mountains...but what can never be stolen from Nature is that vivid impression that she alone can and knows how to impart--the music of the birds, the movement of the trees, the aroma peculiar to the place--the inexplicable something the traveller feels that cannot be defined and which seems to awaken in him distant memories of happy days, sorrows and joys gone by, never to return." ~["Los Viajes" in La Solidaridad (15 May 1889)- translated from the Spanish by Nick Joaquin]
“I made them think that they were more capable than they really were.” ~Rizal, Noli me Tangere
“It is a useless life that is not consecrated to a great ideal. It is like a stone wasted on the field without becoming a part of any edifice.” ~Jose Rizal
"It was a world which granted privileges to some and imposed prohibitions on others...Endowed with strength and eager to learn, one had to drag himself in a narrow prison cell when he could see an open field, a vast horizon in the distance; when he could feel the beatings of a heart; and when he believed himself entitled to enjoy the beauty of a dream." ["Laughter and Tears", an essay (c.1884)]
"Men of heart, you only seek hearts, and from the heights where noble emotions dwell, you single out nothing that is petty mean-spiritedness." ~Dr. Jose P. Rizal
"Necessity is the most powerful divinity the world knows--it is the result of physical forces set in operation by ethical forces." "The Philippines: A Century Hence"]
"No good water comes from a muddy spring. No sweet fruit comes from a bitter seed." ~ Dr. Jose P. Rizal, [Letter to the Young Women of Malolos]
"No one has a monopoly of the true God, nor is there a nation or religion that can claim, or at any rate prove, that it has been given the exclusive right to the Creator or sole knowledge of His Being." [Annotations to Morga's Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas - translated by Austin Crai]
"One only dies once, and if one does not die well, a good opportunity is lost and will not present itself again." ~Dr. Jose Rizal (Letter to Mariano Ponce, 1890)

".... reforms, if they are to bear fruit, must come from above, for reforms that come from below are upheavals both violent and transitory." ~Jose Rizal, Manifesto To Some Filipinos
"The world laughs at another man's pain." ["Song of the Wanderer", st.8 - translated by Nick Joaquin.]
"To foretell the destiny of a nation, it is necessary to open the book that tells of her past." ~Dr. Jose P. Rizal
"To live is to be among men, and to be among men is to struggle, a struggle not only with them but with oneself; with their passions, but also with one's own." ~Dr. Jose Rizal (Letter to his family, Dapitan c. 1884)
"Travel is a caprice in childhood, a passion in youth, a necessity in manhood, and an elegy in old age." ~Dr. Jose Rizal["Los Viajes"]
"What is independence if the slaves of today shall be the tyrants of tomorrow?" ~Dr. Jose P. Rizal

"Ang poot walang nililikha kundi mga dambuhala, mga kasamaan, mga salarin.
Tanging ang tunay na pag-ibig lamang ang nakakalikha ng mga bagay na tunay na kahanga-hanga.” ~José Rizal, El Filibusterismo
“Ang tao’y inianak na paris-paris hubad at walang tali. Di nilalang ng Dios upang maalipin, di binigyan ng isip para pabulag, at di binayasan ng katuiran at ng maulol ng iba.” ~Dr. Jose Rizal (Ang Liham ni Dr. Jose Rizal sa Kadalagahan sa Malolos, Bulacan, Pebrero 1889)
"Mamamatay akong hindi masisilayan ang banaag ng bukang liwayway ng panibagong araw. Kayong mga isisilang sa pagkakataong ito ay salubungin ninyong may lugod at pagpapahalaga para sa akin." - Gat Jose Protacio Rizal, (June 19, 1861 - December 30, 1896)
POEMS:
It breaks immortality's neck
Contemplates crime and therefore halts it;
It humbles barbarous nations
And makes of savages, champions." "Por La Education" (To Education, c. 1876) - translator unknown
"Oh how beautiful to fall to give you flight,
To die to give you life, to rest under your sky;
And in your enchanted land forever sleep."
~["Mi Ultimo Adios", st. 5]
"The sea, the sea is everything! Its sovereign mass
brings to me atoms of a myriad faraway lands;
Its bright smile animates me in the limpid mornings
And when at the end of day my faith has failed me
My heart echoes the sound of its sorrow in the sands."
~["Mi Retiro", st.6 - translated by Nick Joaquin.]
HYMN TO LABOR
Hail! Hail! Praise to labour,
Of the country wealth and vigor!
For it brow serene's exalted,
It's her blood, life, and ardor.
If some youth would show his love
Labor his faith will sustain:
Only a man who struggles and works.
Will his offspring know to maintain.
~Dr. Jose P. Rizal
