God doesn’t need to punish us. He just grants us a long enough life to punish ourselves.

Quotations
God
To uphold righteousness, so supreme an act did he perform; he gave his head, but did not utter a word of sorrow. For the sake of righteousness, he did this great heroic deed; he laid down his life but not the principles… Guru Tegh Bahadur broke his earthly vase on the head of the Emperor of Delhi – and went to the abode of God.
-A Spiritual Leader "Guru Gobind Singh"
God first created light, all men are born out of it. The whole world came out of a single spark; who is good and who is bad? The Creator is in the creation, and the creation in the Creator, He is everywhere…He who surrenders to Him gets to know Him. God is invisible, He cannot be seen. The Guru has granted me this sweet gift. My doubts are dispelled. I have seen the Pure with my own eyes.
-A Spiritual Leader "Guru Hargobind Singh"
You have come from God, you are a spark of His Glory, you are a wave of that Ocean of Bliss; you will get peace only when you again merge in Him.
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
Hear good things, see good, do good, think good, then you get the Grace of God, as all the evil tendencies will be uprooted.
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
A man is truly free, even here in this embodied state, if he knows that God is the true agent and he by himself is powerless to do anything.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
God is never tired of bringing the sun out every morning, taking it in the evenings and bringing out the moon.
-Jaachynma N. E. Agu
"The Prince and the Pauper"
You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
-Bible "Matthew 5.48"
God left so many fingerprints at the scene of creation that you wonder — does He want to be found, or does He want to be stopped?
-Robert Brault
God brings men into deep waters, not to drown them, but to cleanse them.
-James H. Aughey
