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.
You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.
-Swami Vivekananda
God is taking a nap within my soul. I ponder whether to wake Him or not.
-Harley King
It is difficult to know why God reveals Himself to some and plays the game of hide-and-seek with others.
-Baba Ram Dass
Only by doing good can one benefit. Those who detach themselves from ‘bad’ and yearn for ‘good’, dedicate their lives to God…and to service of scholars shall be blessed.
When you know you own God you will not be in a hurry to get something out of God.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Act always from a sense of common humanity, and let God judge if it be charity.
God is the color of water. Water doesn't have a color.
-James McBride

The symbolism of the Goddess is not a parallel structure to the symbolism of God the Father. The Goddess does not rule the world. She is the world, manifest in each of us, she can be known internally by every individual, in all her magnificent diversity.
I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how a man could look up into the heavens and say there is no God.
-Abraham Lincoln
