"We must meditate, brothers. These grapes will..." - Quote by Charles Spurgeon

“We are in a wrong state of mind if we are not in a thankful state of mind.”

“A child's cry touches a father's heart.”

“Knowing that the time to sleep has come, the Lord sleeps, and does well in sleeping. Often, when we have been fretting and worrying, we should have glorified God far more had we literally gone to sleep.”

“An interval of meditation, serious and grateful, was the best corrective of everything dangerous in such a high-wrought felicity; and she went to her room, and grew steadfast and fearless in the thankfulness of her enjoyment.”

“Peacefulness is an inner sense of calm - it comes from becoming still - in order to reflect and meditate on our inner wisdom and receive answers. A peaceful heart is one that is free from worry and rouble. It's becoming quiet so we can look at things quietly so we can more clearly understand them and thus come up with creative solutions. It is learning to live in the present. Freedom from desire leads to inner peace.”

“He who knows even how to prepare a smoke properly, knows also how to meditate. And he who cannot cook well cannot be a perfect sannyasin. Unless cooking is performed with a pure mind and concentration, the food is not palatable.”

“What people call the spirit of the times is mostly their own spirit in which the times mirror themselves.”

“People travel to marvel at the mountains, seas, rivers and stars and they pass right by themselves without astonishment.”

“To rove about, musing, that is to say loitering, is, for a philosopher, a good way of spending time.”
