Eckhart Tolle Quotes

There is no external means, whether it's my career, or money or house or a wife or anything, that is going to set me right.

If we are incapable of finding peace in ourselves, it is pointless to search elsewhere.

I'm just more content with myself. Like, if I've got something to say, I want to get it off of my chest.

If you are not at peace with yourself then you cannot spread peace.

It's what's in *yourself* that makes you happy or unhappy.

The most certain mode of making people content with us is to make them content with themselves.

Human happiness and human satisfaction must ultimately come from within oneself. It is wrong to expect some final satisfaction to come from money or from a computer.

I believe I know the only cure, which is to make one’s center of life inside of one’s self, not selfishly or excludingly, but with a kind of unassailable serenity—to decorate one’s inner house so richly that one is content there, glad to welcome anyone who wants to come and stay, but happy all the same when one is inevitably alone.

If we really love ourselves, everything in our life works.

The greatest gift you can give anyone is to be happy. And we will take that further. The greatest gift you can give to any partner, past, present or future is to be so connected with who you truly are that they are irrelevant to your connection. And when they are irrelevant to your connection, then you are going to have a really good time together.

You have so much inside you, and the noblest happiness of all. Don’t just wait for a man to come along. That’s the mistake so many women make. Find your happiness in yourself.

Work has enhanced and certainly supported my feelings toward myself, because it's been a reflection of goals I've set. But if you're not happy with yourself on the inside, then what does it matter?

If half a century of living has taught me anything at all, it has taught me that nothing can bring you peace but yourself.
