How tired God must be of guilt and loneliness, for that is all we ever bring to Him.

"The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960"

God is the color of water. Water doesn't have a color.

One who serves and seeks no recompense finds union with the Lord. Such a servant alone takes the Master’s guidance, says Nanak, As on him is divine grace.
Without God, life is like a school without a teacher. It is a wire with no current passing through it; it is a body with no soul.
If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.
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.
If you say that God is good, great blessed, wise or any such thing, the starting point is this: God is.
-Bernard Of Clairvaux
The soul may ask God for anything, and never fail.
