Everything comes by being! Be the love you seek. Be the friend you seek. Be the lover you seek. Be the honesty you seek. Be the integrity you seek. Be the patience you seek. Be the tolerance you seek. Be the compassion you seek.

Bryant H. McGill

Seek first to understand before being understood.

J. Richard Clarke

Seek first to understand, then to be understood.

Stephen Covey

Seek to understand rather than be understood.

Stephen Covey

I believe you should seek to understand and then be understood.

Tony Gaskins

Seek truth! Seek truth in the darkness, under the oceans, above the clouds; seek it everywhere and every time! Stop deceiving yourself with the untruth, seek the truth!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

The people no longer seek consolation in art. But the refined people, the rich, the idlers seek the new, the extraordinary, the extravagant, the scandalous. I have contented these people with all the many bizarre things that come into my head. And the less they understand, the more they admire it. By amusing myself with all these games, all this nonsense, all these picture puzzles, I became famous... I am only a public entertainer who has understood his time.

Pablo Picasso

To have a body is to suffer. Does anyone with a body know peace? Those who understand this detach themselves from all that exists and stop imagining or seeking anything. The sutras say, "To seek is to suffer. To seek nothing is bliss." When you seek nothing, you're on the Path.

Bodhidharma

Theirs is an endless road, a hopeless maze, who seek for goods before they seek for God.

Bernard of Clairvaux

Do not seek to change what has come before. Seek to create that which has not

David Airey

What? You seek something? You wish to multiply yourself tenfold, a hundredfold? You seek followers? Seek zeros!

Friedrich Nietzsche

When I seek you, my God, I seek a blessed life. I shall seek you, so that my soul may live.

Saint Augustine

To seek Divinity merely in books is to seek the living among the dead... seek God within your own soul.

John Smith

If it is bread that you seek, you will have bread. If it is the soul you seek, you will find the soul. If you understand this secret, you know you are that which you seek.

Rumi

Seek the truly practical life, but seek it in such a way that it does not blind you to the spirit working in it. Seek the spirit, but seek it not out of spiritual greed, but so that you may apply it in the genuinely practical life.

Rudolf Steiner

There is a Soul within the Soul. Seek it out. There is a Treasure in your mountain. Seek it Out. A mystic in motion, if that's what you are, don't seek out there; seek inside.

Rumi
