5 Great Eckhart Tolle Quotes

Some of our favorite quotes from the best-selling author.

By MindBodyGreen
Here are five of our favorite quotes from Eckhart Tolle, the best-selling author of The Power of Now and A New Earth:

1. "Wherever you are, be there totally. If you find you're here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally."

2. "Nothing ever happened in the past that can prevent you from being present now; and if the past cannot prevent you from being present now, what power does it have?"

3. "How" is always more important than "what." See if you can give much more attention to the doing than to the result that you want to achieve through it."

4. "Whenever anything negative happens to you, there is a deep lesson concealed within it, although you may not see it at the time."

5. "I have lived with several Zen masters--all of them cats."
