Life’s essence lies, not in your body, but in your conscience.

The divine spark lives in all of us, and perpetually strives toward its origin.

— Lucius Annaeus Seneca

When you see that everything around you is impermanent, then you will perceive other, permanent and eternal things.

— Dhammapada, A Book Of Buddhist Wisdom

You cannot see the soul, but only the soul can truly see the essence of things.

— The Talmud

I call spirit that part of man which has independent existence and gives us the understanding of life.

— Marcus Aurelius

Let your spiritual side guide your material side, and not the other way around. In order to improve his state, a person should strive for spiritual not physical perfection.
