Thought Provoking Quotes From The Four Agreements

Here are a few quotes from a great little book The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.

“The First Agreement: Be Impeccable with Your Word”
“The Second Agreement: Don’t Take Anything Personally”
“The Third Agreement: Don’t Make Assumptions”
“The Fourth Agreement: Always Do Your Best” – Don Miguel Ruiz from The Four Agreements

“The first agreement is the most important one and also the most difficult one to honor. It is so important that with just this first agreement you will be able to transcend to the level of existence I call heaven on earth. The first agreement is to be impeccable with your word. It sounds very simple, but it is very, very powerful.” – Don Miguel Ruiz from The Four Agreements

“Under any circumstance, always do your best, no more and no less. But keep in mind that your best is never going to be the same from one moment to the next. Everything is alive and changing all the time, so your best will sometimes be high quality, and other times it will not be as good.” – Don Miguel Ruiz from The Four Agreements

“Who stops us from being free? We blame the government, we blame the weather, we blame our parents, we blame religion, we blame God. Who really stops us from being free? We stop ourselves.” – Don Miguel Ruiz from The Four Agreements

“Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive—the risk to be alive and express what we really are.” – Don Miguel Ruiz from The Four Agreements
