God is the same everywhere.
Be bad, but at least don’t be a liar, a deceiver!
Not one word, not one gesture of yours shall I, could I, ever forget…
It’s much better to do good in a way that no one knows anything about it.
But the law of loving others could not be discovered by reason, because it is unreasonable.
The whole world is divided for me into two parts: one is she, and there is all happiness, hope, light; the other is where she is not, and there is dejection and darkness…
There are no conditions to which a person cannot grow accustomed, especially if he sees that everyone around him lives in the same way.
The Kingdom of God is Within You,
Tao in the world is like a river flowing home to the sea.
Music brought me closer to the idea of God.
O Lord, help me to be pure, but not yet.
When you get there, there isn’t any there there.
Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts.
I would like to believe there is a God, but I think it is better to say I’m not sure there is a God and live your life with kindness and respect for people than to say I know there is a God and then do bad things,
I pray Thee, O God, that I may be beautiful within.
Believe in something larger than yourself…get involved in the big ideas of your time.
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.
For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can’t readily accept the God formula, the big answers don’t remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.
I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, and do not find in our particular superstition (Christianity) one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology.
A mind committed to compassion is like an overflowing reservoir – a constant source of energy, determination and kindness.
Faith is one of the most effective tools in the human equipment. I believe that faith works.
God cannot alter the past, though historians can.
