Gandhi

An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

A man is but the product of his thoughts; what he thinks, he becomes.

God has no religion.

Priests are not men of the world; it is not intended that they should be; and a University training is the one best adapted to prevent their becoming so.

I have a bit of supernatural take on life. For a moment, I went over to the other side. Since then, I can feel the presence of the departed. I’m very sensitive to it.

I take the kids to church and Sunday school. They love it. I really think it’s important for a child to feel that there are things that are bigger than your life out there.

The Buddhist notion of diligence is to delight in positive deeds.

The clergyman is expected to be a kind of human Sunday.

The Zen expression Kill the Buddha!” means to kill any concept of the Buddha as something apart from oneself.

A cult is a religion with no political power.

One must be deeply aware of the impermanence of the world.

A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes.

I believe in everything until it’s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it’s in your mind. Who’s to say that dreams and nightmares aren’t as real as the here and now? Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.

Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others is the ultimate source of success in life.

To follow the path, look to the master, follow the master, walk with the master, see through the master, become the master.

The law of God, as quite plainly expressed in woman’s construction, is this: There shall be no limit put upon your intercourse with the other sex sexually, at any time of life. During twenty-three days in every month (in the absence of pregnancy) from the time a woman is seven years old till she dies of old age, she is ready for action, and competent. As competent as the candlestick is to receive the candle. Competent every day, competent every night. Also, she wants that candle – yearns for it, longs for it, hankers after it, as commanded by the law of God in her heart.

The instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.

I’m an atheist and I thank God for it.
