Love without sacrifice is like theft.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb

First keep yourself in peace and then you will be able to bring others to peace. The peaceable man does more good than one who is very learned.
-Jesus Christ
God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God.
I live like the birds on the branch. If there is no wind I stay there. But if it grows windy, I spread my wings and go where the wind carries me.
-Alexandre Dumas
