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

Path
-Ben Sweetland "Ben Sweetlan"
Who knows this truly, and who will now declare it, what paths lead together to the gods? Only their lowest aspects of existence are seen, who exist on supreme, mystical planes.
-Vedas "Rig Veda"
Choose your own way, to suit your own taste, temperament and capacity. There’s no need to criticise or condemn those who follow a different path. Spiritual hunger is the same in all – the ‘food’ to satisfy their hunger may vary.
-Satchidananda Saraswati "Swami Satchidananda"
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson "Ralph Waldo Emerson"
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.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagawvad Gita 4.37-38"
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.
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
God can be realised through all paths. All religions are true. The important thing is to reach the roof. You can reach it by stone stairs or by wooden stairs or by bamboo steps or by a rope. You can also climb up by a bamboo pole.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa "Ramakrishna Paramahamsa"
All know the way; few actually walk it.
-Bodhidharma
There are many possibilities that people can choose from. There are bad and there are good ones. So, look carefully to choose for yourself the noble path…
-Vladimir Antonov "Vladimir Antonov"
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
