Real spirituality is going through fire. Real spirituality is rebellion against all that is rotten, against all that is past, against all that is being forced on you by others, against all conditionings. Real spirituality is the greatest rebellion there is. It is risky, it is adventurous, it is dangerous. So beware of pseudo spirituality which is always there, available, easily available at the door.

Rajneesh

Real meaningful endeavours, the biggies in human existence, often require the sacrifice of others.

Andrew Schneider

Do you suppose that sacrifice is the hallmark of moral action?--Just stop to consider whether sacrifice is not involved in every action that is done with deliberation, the worst as well as the best.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Revolutions require work, revolutions require sacrifice, revolutions, and our own included, require a certain amount of rationing, a certain amount of calluses, a certain amount of sacrifice

Lee Harvey Oswald

The real meaning of courage was the personal sacrifice of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King.

Pete Seeger

My feeling is that the Supreme Court reached a reasonable standard of protection of speech in the 1960s, a standard higher than any other country in the world, to my knowledge. In brief, speech should be protected up to participation in imminent criminal action.

Noam Chomsky

Nothing of spiritual significance comes without sacrifice. Your spirituality will always be measured by the size of your sacrifice.

Jerry Falwell

For the courage of self-sacrifice, woman is any time superior to man, as I believe man is to woman for the courage of the brute.

Mahatma Gandhi

It doesn't require much thought for one to realise that any travel book worthy of the name has to be a departure from the standard idea of the form.

Geoff Dyer

Courage is the hallmark of spirituality. Courage comes when you love yourself for who you are.

Amit Ray

Reforming is about curbing government power. It is a self-imposed revolution; it will require real sacrifice, and it will be painful.

Li Keqiang

prayer can be an easy substitute for real spirituality. It would be impossible to have spirituality without prayer, of course, but it is certainly possible to pray without having a spirituality at all. How do you know? 'Am I becoming kinder?' is a good place to start.

Joan D. Chittister

Does veganism require a “sacrifice”? Yes. It requires that you give up that which you never had any right to in the first place.

Gary L. Francione

The vigor of a mass movement stems from the propensity of its followers for united action and self-sacrifice. When we ascribe the success of a movement to its faith, doctrine, propaganda, leadership, ruthlessness and so on, we are but referring to instruments of unification and to means used to inculcate a readiness for self-sacrifice. It is perhaps impossible to understand the nature of a mass movement unless it is recognized that their chief preoccupation is to foster, perfect and perpetuate a facility for united action and self-sacrifice.

Eric Hoffer

The sacrifice which causes sorrow to the doer of the sacrifice is no sacrifice. Real sacrifice lightens the mind of the doer and gives him a sense of peace and joy. The Buddha gave up the pleasures of life because they had become painful to him.

Mahatma Gandhi

True spirituality is to be aware that if we are interdependent with everything and everyone else, even our smallest, least significant thought, word and action have real consequences throughout the universe.

Sogyal Rinpoche
