Elizabeth Gilbert Quotes

Comfort will never come to one who does not touch the stillness within himself.

The heart beats louder and the soul hears quicker in silence and solitude.

A primary method for gaining a mind of full peace is to practice emptying the mind.

There is nothing mind can do that cannot be better done in the mind's immobility and thought-free stillness. When mind is still, then truth gets her chance to be heard in the purity of the silence.

Silence, you know, is the best place to get close to spirit for me.

Self-Realization Fellowship seemed like training. It was the training ground for finding a sense of peace in myself. Because that's my job. It's no one else's.

Peace of mind for five minutes, that's what I crave.

If we have not peace within ourselves, it is in vain to seek it from outward sources.

If you can't find peace inside, you'll never be at peace.

Never underestimate the power of sitting quietly.
