“To desire is to obtain; to aspire is to, achieve.”
James Allen book As a Man Thinketh
As A Man Thinketh (1902), Visions and Ideals

Context: To desire is to obtain; to aspire is to, achieve. Shall man's basest desires receive the fullest measure of gratification, and his purest aspirations starve for lack of sustenance? Such is not the Law: such a condition of things can never obtain: "ask and receive."
Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your Vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your Ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.
“What is important in meditation is the quality of the mind and the heart.”
Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895–1986) Indian spiritual philosopher
Talks in Europe 1968
1970s, Second Penguin Krishnamurti Reader (1973)
Context: What is important in meditation is the quality of the mind and the heart. It is not what you achieve, or what you say you attain, but rather the quality of a mind that is innocent and vulnerable.
“Q: Is life a dream or a meditation? A: Life is a meditation when you know it is a dream.”
Baba Hari Dass (1923–2018) master yogi, author, builder, commentator of Indian spiritual tradition
Yoga Journal, May 1977
