We cannot hold a torch to light another’s path without brightening our own first.

We cannot hold a torch to light another’s path without brightening our own first.
The person who tries to stand still on the path will find that it has vanished.
-Carl Japikse
Man learns through experience, and the spiritual path is full of different kinds of experiences. He will encounter many difficulties and obstacles, and they are the very experiences he needs to encourage and complete the cleansing process.
We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.
-Paulo Coelho
If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere.
-Frank A. Clark
As the heat of a fire reduces wood to ashes, the fire of knowledge burns to ashes all karma. Nothing in this world purifies like spiritual wisdom. It is the perfection achieved in time through the path of yoga, the path which leads to the Self within.
Any path is only a path, and there is no affront to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you.
If you don't like the path your life has taken, choose another.
-Robert G. DeMers
"The Iceman"
If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.
-John D. Rockfeller
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
