Eckhart Tolle More Quotes by Eckhart Tolle More Quotes From Eckhart Tolle Make sure your goals are dynamic, that is to say, point toward an activity that you are engaged in and through which you are connected to other human beings as well as to the whole.

Language consists of five basic sounds produced by the vocal cords. They are the vowels a, e, i, o, u. The other sounds are consonants produced by air pressure: s, f, g, and so forth. Do you believe some combination of such basic sounds could ever explain who you are, or the ultimate purpose of the universe, or even what a tree or stone is in its depth?

One operates through thought, the other through stillness.

Well, if my state of consciousness is so fragile that a glass of wine would upset it, then it can't be worth very much.
