More Wisdom Quotes from Prem Rawat’s Bestselling Book “Hear Yourself”
15 luminaries tell it like it is
Prem Rawat’s bestselling book, now translated into 14 languages, is a tour de force — sparking a deep sense of wonder, inspiration, and the recognition that all human beings are somehow on the same life journey.
One of the ways in which the author accomplishes this effect is via the artful inclusion of evocative quotes from a wide variety of luminaries throughout history — sages, saints, teachers, poets, philosophers, monks, economists, writers, kings, statesmen, physicists, boxers and presidents.
What follows is a selection of 15 of these quotes for your reflection.

“I wish people to know that physicians are ultimately powerless and cannot cure us of death. I wish people to know that a life spent pursuing wealth is a waste of precious time.
