A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), German poet
Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place. Rumi (1207-1273), Sufi mystic and poet
To understand the limitation of things, desire them. Lao Tzu (4th century bce), author of the Tao Te Ching

Yoga is an internal practice. The rest is just a circus. K. Pattabhi Jois (1915-209), Hatha Yoga master

The nature of being one, the nature of being many and all such states are reflected in him according to his conception. All the qualities of the form meditated by him get unfolded within himself. Raurava Agama, Vidya Pada 7.13-4
Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people. Carl Jung (1875-1961), Swiss psychiatrist
