“Other than inquiry, there are no adequate means to make the mind permanently subside. If the mind is controlled through other means, it will appear to be controlled, but will rise again.  Through regulation of breath, the mind will become calm; but it will remain calm only as long as the breath remains controlled.  When the breath is no longer regulated, the mind will become active and start wandering.”  Sri Ramana Maharshi

“There must be no waiting for something to happen. This something is happening in every moment.  To wait for it is to miss it.”  Wu Hsin

“Sitting quietly, doing nothing. Spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.”  Hyakujo
