Plutarch
Greek - Philosopher
46 - 120

One of the many things I learned at the end of that Classics corridor down which I ventured at the age of 18, in search of something I could not then define, was this, written by the Greek author Plutarch: What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality. That is an astonishing statement and yet proven a thousand times every day of our lives. It expresses, in part, our inescapable connection with the outside world, the fact that we touch other people’s lives simply by existing.

J. K. Rowling

Until a radical change takes place and we wipe out all nationalities, all ideologies, all religious divisions, and establish a global relationship - psychologically first, inwardly before organizing the outer - we shall go on with wars.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Synchronicity holds the promise that if we will change within, the patterns in our outer life will change also.

Jean Shinoda Bolen

When we are formed inwardly, outer issues do become much more manageable.

Dallas Willard

Whatever you experience in your life is really but the outpicturing of your own thoughts and beliefs. Now, you can change these thoughts and beliefs, and then the outer picture must change too. The outer picture cannot change until you change your thought.

Emmet Fox

There is little sense in attempting to change external conditions, you must first change inner beliefs, then outer conditions will change accordingly.

Bryan Adams

The change is from inner to outer. We start by dissolving our attitude not by altering outer conditions.

Bruce Lee

Sometimes their immediate reaction is to want to run away because they realize inwardly that the transpositions their life will go through will be remarkable, change everything.

Frederick Lenz

For although the will cannot be inwardly moved by any creature, yet it can be moved inwardly by God.

Thomas Aquinas

A teacher will have an initial contact at some point with someone. It happens inwardly first. Before you ever meet an advanced teacher, they have somehow traveled inwardly along the astral planes.

Frederick Lenz

Step by step, let whatever happens happen. Real change will come when it is brought about, not by your ego, but by reality. Awareness releases reality to change you.

Anthony de Mello

Inner reality is certainly more important than the outer reality.

Timothy Leary

Whatever was in the human nature of Christ was moved at the bidding of the divine will; yet it does not follow that in Christ there was no movement of the will proper to human nature, for the good wills of other saints are moved by God's will... For although the will cannot be inwardly moved by any creature, yet it can be moved inwardly by God.

Thomas Aquinas

The productive sender is the outer world, the external reality including our own body. The receiver is our deep self, the conscious ego, which then transforms the outer stimuli into a psychological experience.

Albert Hofmann

Lasting social change unfolds from inside out: from the inner to the outer being, from inner to outer realities.

Arianna Huffington

Man, as a spiritual being, cannot be maintained in strength, uprightness, and peace except if he periodically withdraw himself from the outer world of perishable things and reach inwardly towards the abiding and imperishable realities.

James Allen
