Quotations
God
He who created us without our help will not save us without our consent.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
God has no marks, colour, caste, and no ancestors, no form, complexion, outline, costume and is indescribable. He is fearless, luminous and measureless in might. He is the king of kings, the Lord of the prophets. He is the sovereign of the universe, gods, men and demons. The woods and dales sing the indescribable. O Lord, none can tell Thy names. The wise count your blessings to coin your names.
-A Spiritual Leader "Bani of Guru Gobind Singh"
God waits to win back his own flowers as gifts from man's hands.
-Rabindranath Tagore
"Stray Birds"
You were made by God and for God and until you understand that, life will never make sense.
-Rick Warren
God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
Chant the name of God with heartfelt devotion. Everything else is just a pompous worldly show.
-Sri Guru Granth Sahib "Guru Granth Sahib"
If you think God’s there, He is. If you don’t, He isn’t. And if that’s what God’s like, I wouldn’t worry about it.
-Haruki Murakami
"Kafka on the Shore"
The essence of the offering is that it be analogous to the sin, and that a man offer to God his desires and passions, for this is more acceptable than all.

Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
-Jesus Christ
