Meditation brings wisdom; lack of meditation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what hold you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom.
Buddha
Prayer is more than meditation. In meditation the source of strength is one's self. When one prays he goes to a source of strength greater than his own.
Madame Chiang Kai-Shek
No great work has ever been produced except after a long interval of still and musing meditation.
Walter Bagehot
The art of meditation may be exercised at all hours, and in all places; and men of genius, in their walks, at table, and amidst assemblies, turning the eye of the mind inwards, can form an artificial solitude; retired amidst a crowd, calm amidst distraction, and wise amidst folly.
Isaac D'Israeli
Meditation is the soul's perspective glass, whereby, in her long removes, she discerneth God, as if He were near at hand.
Owen Felltham

It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most on Divine truth, that will prove the choicest, wisest, strongest Christian.
Joseph Hall
Meditation is that exercise of the mind by which it recalls a known truth,--as some kinds of creatures do their food; to be ruminated upon.
Thomas Hartwell Horne
Meditation is the life of the soul; action is the soul of meditation; honor is the reward of action; so meditate, that thou mayst do; so do, that thou mayst purchase honor; for which purchase, give God the glory.
Francis Quarles
Divinely bent to meditation; And in no worldly suits would he be mov'd, To draw him from his holy exercise.
William Shakespeare
He is divinely bent on meditation.
William Shakespeare
Though reading and conversation may furnish us with many ideas of men and things, yet it is our own meditation must form our judgment.
Isaac Watts
Still the bubbling mind; herein lies freedom and bliss eternal.
Swami Sivananda
If you have controlled your mind you are the conqueror of the whole world.
