“A primary goal of the spiritual life is to learn to quiet the mind through prayer and meditation, through spiritual practice, so that we can hear what in both Judaism and Christianity, is called the small, still voice within.” MindStillsSpiritualLife IsGoalVoicePrayerChristianityPracticeMeditationQuietPrimariesSpiritual LifeJudaismSpiritual Practice Author:Marianne Williamson
“I really rate Paul Scholes, because he hasn't got the high profile of many of the Manchester United players, he doesn't get too much attention, but he is one very good player. He is an intelligent player, he works hard and he scores some great goals. He is not flamboyant and is a quiet lad off the pitch but he is a tremendous asset to Manchester United and to England. He has already got my vote as player of the year.” YearsHardGoalUnitedAttentionToo MuchPlayerHard WorkQuietVoteEnglandIntelligentRateVery GoodScoreAssetsProfileManchesterLadManchester UnitedScholesFlamboyantHigh ProfilePaul Scholes Author:Tony Adams
“There is a natural rhythm to the active and receptive energies within us. At times our energy is strong and outgoing - it is time to pursue our goals, take risks, get things accomplished. At other times, our energy is quiet and sensitive, and we need to take time to nurture ourselves, relax, and just 'be' for a while. As we trust and follow this rhythm, we attract everything we need and create everything we truly desire.” NeedsDesireEnergyStrongGoalNaturalRiskQuietActivePursueRhythmSensitiveAccomplishedRelaxTake TimeNurtureReceptiveOutgoing Author:Shakti Gawain
“In the Western world there isn't much value given to the necessity for just being quiet. And just resting, and just being, without a focus or a goal. At least a certain amount in our lives - we don't need to do half and half; it's okay if we're doing a lot of doing, we just need some being mixed in.” IfsWorldNeedsCertainValuesGivenGoalHalfFocusOur LivesAmountQuietOkayWesternJust BeingWestern WorldBeing Quiet Author:Shakti Gawain
“When we sit thoughtfully pondering in a quiet place and the Spirit speaks to us, there will come into our hearts and souls the things that are truly our greatest desires, those things that are more important in the long run than anything else. Away from the appeal of the world, that greatest desire usually relates to relationships with family and with the Lord. And when that priority is in place, then we begin to plan our lives with purpose. We begin to have goals that cause us to live with anticipation.” WorldHeartLongImportantSoulRunningSpiritDesirePurposeSpeakCausesGoalLordOur LivesPlansQuietPrioritiesRelateAppealsPurpose Of LifeAnticipationLong RunsHeart And SoulPonderingQuiet PlaceLive With Purpose Author:Ardeth Kapp
“When I was working at Omega, I took this Zen retreat, where you're quiet, you don't say anything for a week, and this guy there said, "You're going to be enlightened at the end of this week, that's my goal." I was the engineer, so I was recording everything at it was happening, but I was also participating, because I felt like it. So at the end of it, I did understand what enlightenment was, one-hundred percent.” SaidEndsGuyFeltGoalWeekQuietHappeningsEnlightenmentPercentHundredEnlightenedEngineersSay AnythingRetreatThis GuyParticipating Author:Larkin Grimm

“Dear God, I prayed, all unafraid (as we're inclined to do), I do not need a handsome man but let him be like You; I do not need one big and strong nor yet so very tall, nor need he be some genius, or wealthy, Lord, at all; but let his head be high, dear God, and let his eye be clear, his shoulders straight, whate'er his state, whate'er his earthly sphere; and let his face have character, a ruggedness if soul, and let his whole life show, dear God, a singleness of goal; then when he comes (as he will come) with quiet eyes aglow, I'll understand that he's the man I prayed for long ago.” IfsMenNeedsLongSoulStatesWholeCharacterShowsBigsEyeFacesStrongGoalLordClearLike YouGeniusQuietDearWhole LifeShouldersHis EyesWealthyTallSpheresLong AgoHandsomeUnafraidDear GodSinglenessHandsome Men Book:Footprints of a Pilgrim Source: Footprints of a Pilgrim
