The Gods gave a microbe a drop of water, and in it he lived. They gave an ant a half acre of land, and he prospered. They gave a tiger the forest and he formed an empire and became an emperor. They gave man the Universe and all the knowledge therein. He entered of his own free will the dungeon of Dogma, shut his mind to truth and slew and starved his brothers.
Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man.
-Thomas Paine
God often visits us, but most of the time we are not at home.
-Joseph Roux
"Meditations of a Parish Priest”"
If you knew who walked beside you at all times, on the path that you have chosen, you could never experience fear or doubt again.
-Wayne W. Dyer
I consider him to be a true believer of God, who no matter what happens...has
the capacity to cheerfully accept it there and then, as the will of God.
-Deep Trivedi
Food to a large extent is what holds a society together and eating is closely linked to deep spiritual experiences.
Act always from a sense of common humanity, and let God judge if it be charity.
You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.
-Swami Vivekananda
Likewise the spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words. And he who searches the hearts of men knows the mind of the spirit, because the spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.
-Anne Lamott
