The God of this world is riches, pleasure and pride.
Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that the believer would stake his life on it a thousand times.
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
What separates me from most so-called atheists is a feeling of utter humility toward the unattainable secrets of the harmony of the cosmos.
I do not believe that the Good Lord plays dice.
To say that I am made in the image of God is to say that love is the reason for my existence, for God is love.
A great man stands on God. A small man on a great man.
I want to give myself totally to Him...I want to live no longer but for Him.
Thy way, not mine, O Lord, however dark it be; lead me by thine own hand; choose out the path for me.
Our prayers are heard by God not according to what we try to be when we pray, but who we are when we are not praying
Learn to love humility, for it will cover all your sins. All sins are repulsive before God, but the most repulsive of all is pride of the heart. Do not consider yourself learned and wise; otherwise, all your efforts will be destroyed, and your boat will reach the harbor empty. If you have great authority, do not threaten anyone with death. Know that, according to nature, you too are susceptible to death, and that every soul sheds its body as its final garment.
Can a physicist visualize an electron? The electron is materially inconceivable and yet, it is so perfectly known through its effects that we use it to illuminate our cities, guide our airlines through the night skies and take the most accurate measurements.

The word Atman (Soul) means the "breath of life". Atman is the principle of man's life, the Soul that pervades his being, his breath, his intellect and transcends them.

There is at the moment in the world a battle going on between those who are pursuing materialistic paths-globalizers of economic growth and those hell-bent on this 'big is better' idea-on the one hand, and on the other hand those who are dedicated to spiritual renewal, more small-scale development, more human scale, more sustainability, more crafts and arts. Where human beings are not just sold to companies and money and those kinds of things. Where human beings have a sacred path.
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'
An atheist is just somebody who feels about Yahweh the way any decent Christian feels about Thor or Baal or the golden calf. We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.
