Pretty much live by these three:
"The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart."
"Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven."
"Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace."

Quote:
True religion consists in developing the attitude of mind which should ultimately result in seeing One Infinite Existence prevailing in the universe; when one could live in the world and yet be not of it, and at the same time be in harmony with everyone and everything; when one could see the same divinity in art and science and experience the highest consciousness and indivisible bliss in everyday life.
Meher Baba

"Modern physics has thus revealed that every subatomic particle not only performs an energy dance, but also is an energy dance; a pulsating process of creation and destruction. The dance of Shiva is the dancing universe, the ceaseless flow of energy going through an infinite variety of patterns that melt into one another."
"Whenever the essential nature of things is analysed by the intellect, it must seem absurd or paradoxical. This has always been recognized by the mystics, but has become a problem in science only very recently." -- Both are from Fritjof Capra.
You have no form, even though with the help of Maya, you take on myriads of forms. You have no beginning, though you are the beginning of all. It is you who creates, upholds and dissolves the worlds. -- Mahanirvana Tantra
Being in Samadhi in the state of supreme bliss that arises from seedless yoga, his knowledge free from constraint he meditates constantly within himself upon Himself. -- Umapati Sivacarya (14th century Tamil poet)
"Miserable fools alone laugh at the conduct of Lord Shiva who tasteth the bliss of his own self; they by whom this carcass of a body, food for the dog and the wolf, is mistaken for the soul amd pampered by adorning it with clothes, ornaments, garlands and pastes; they do not understand, but scoff at the strange ways and behaviour of Lord Shiva, who knoweth and tasteth the bliss of his own self." -- Bhagavantam
The Good Foot which is lifted up I've seen. I've seen the light too: I've seen the dancer inside the Pure Space: the feet imprinted on the attacking head are the True Guru's Feet, so dance snake! Dance! -- Pampitti Chittar (Tamil Shaivite poet)
Ganga and Bhanga are sisters Who live in Gangadhara Ganga will give you wisdom, Bhanga will show you the way to heaven. -- Bihar folk saying Ganga: Ganges river personified as a deity. Bhanga: Cannabis personified as a deity. Gangadhara: Shiva, as the upholder of the Ganga

"It's all make-believe, isn't it?" - Marilyn Monroe
-------------------- “Strengthened by contemplation and study, I will not fear my passions like a coward. My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

An extract from Meister Eckhart's 'Poverty Sermon', he's referring to poverty as a spirtiual attainment, not the poverty meaning lack of material things, but rather the lack of personal will & desire.
"So long as a person has his own wish in him to fulfill even the ever-beloved will of God, if that is still a matter of his will, then this person does not yet possess the poverty of which we want to speak. Indeed, this person then still has a will with which he or she wants to satisfy God's will, and that is not the right poverty. For a human being to possess true poverty, he or she must be as free of his or her created will as they were when they did not yet exist. Thus I say to you in the name of divine truth, as long as you have the will, even the will to fulfill God's will, and as long as you have the desire for eternity and for God, to this very extent you are not properly poor, for the only one who is a poor person is one who wills nothing and desires nothing."
