The soul that is attached to anything, however much good there may be in it, will not arrive at the liberty of Divine union. For whether it be a strong wire rope or a slender and delicate thread that holds the bird, it matters not, if it really holds it fast; for until the cord be broken, the bird cannot fly.
Move on your path with unflinching determination, using all the attributes of success. Tune yourself with the creative power of spirit.
Set your faces towards unity, and let the radiance of its light shine upon you. Gather ye together, and for the sake of God resolve to root out whatever is the source of contention among you. Then will the effulgence of the world’s great Luminary envelop the whole earth, and its inhabitants become citizens of one city, and the occupants of one and the same throne.
If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
