Don’t worry that you won’t attain oneness. Work on it!

I come to realize that mind is no other than mountains and rivers and the great wide earth, the sun and the moon and stars.

Do not worship me, I am not God. I’m only a man. I worship Jesus Christ.

I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God’s will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility at a commensurate speed.

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.

Only when you can be extremely pliable and soft can you be extremely hard and strong.

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

When one person suffers from a delusion It is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion It is called Religion.

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.

Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.

Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue with that; I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first – rock and roll or Christianity.

God is the same everywhere.

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.

Nothing ever exists entirely alone. Everything is in relation to everything else.

The truth of Zen, just a little bit of it, is what turns one’s humdrum life into one of art.
