The greatest homage we can pay truth is to use it.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Many good sayings are to be found in holy books but merely reading them will not make one religious. One must practice the virtues taught in such books in order to acquire love of God.
Familiarity with books is not knowledge. One’s entire life is a continuous process of learning.
Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one's own person is its ultimate reward.
-Patricia Sampson
Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter which fork you use.
The whole world is so-called religious...barring a few intellectuals. But then
where does all the anger, miseries, worries, envy, hatred and failure come from?
... Because, conquering all these feelings is only religiousness.
-Deep Trivedi
There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story.
-Linda Hogan
