Searching outside of you is Samsara (the world). Searching within you leads to Nirvana.

Amit Ray

Searching for money, what are you really searching? You are searching power, you are searching strength. Searching for prestige, political authority, what are you searching? You are searching power, strength - and strength is all the time available just by the corner. You are searching in wrong places.

Rajneesh

Nothing leads the scientist so astray as a premature truth.

Jean Rostand

Investigation after declaration of submission leads astray.

Wasif Ali Wasif

Though One Brahman is the Cause of the Many. ... Behold but One in all things it is the second that leads you astray.

Kabir

Follow your heart. It rarely leads you astray. It's thinking that gets us into trouble.

Steve Berry

Capitalism improves the quality of life for the working class not just because it leads to improved wages but also because it produces new, better, and cheaper goods.... Indeed, with capitalism, the emphasis shifted to producing goods as cheaply as possible for the masses--the working class--whereas artisans had previously produced their goods and wares mostly for the aristocracy. Under capitalism every business wants to cater to the masses, for that is where the money is.

Thomas DiLorenzo

Whenever there remains any support for the ego within, even if it be only an atom's weight, then you are pretentious and have a devil who leads you astray.

Ibn Ata Allah

People are just people; the only thing that's different is the form of government that leads them astray.

Obedience is a consecration of the heart, chastity of the body, and poverty of all worldly goods to the Love and Service of God. Blessed indeed are the obedient, for God will never permit them to go astray.

Saint Francis de Sales

I fell away from you, my God, and I went astray, too far astray from you, the support of my youth, and I became to myself a land of want.

Saint Augustine

I argue that we should be kind, we should be compassionate, and we should definitely be reasonable and rational, but that empathy leads us astray.

Paul Bloom

We cannot live without trade. A society can neither advance nor improve without excess of disposable income. This excess can only be amassed through the production of goods and services necessary or attractive to the mass. A financial system which allows this leads to inequality; one that does not leads to mass starvation.

David Mamet

When profits are pursued by geographic interchange of goods, so that commerce for profit becomes the central mechanism of the system, we usually call it "commercial capitalism." In such a system goods are conveyed from ares where they are more common (and therefore cheaper) to areas where they are less common (and therefore less cheap). This process leads to regional specialization and to division of labor, both in agricultural production and in handicrafts.

Carroll Quigley

It is the very mind itself that leads the mind astray - of the mind, do not be mindless

Takuan Soho

...Poverty in America today leads not only to anxiety, unhappiness, discomfort and a lack of material goods. It leads to death. Poverty in America today is a death sentence for tens and tens of thousands of our people.
