Quotations
God
Let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God.
-Robert "Bob" Pierce

Devotion to God’s Name is my lamp; In this lamp is poured the oil of suffering. The light of realisation burns away this oil…Vast loads of firewood are reduced to ashes by a tiny spark of fire.
-Scriptures "Adi Granth"
You are my hope and my refuge in the day of my trouble.

God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.
-Voltaire
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"
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.
-Scriptures "Zohar, Leviticus 9b"
Every people have gods to suit their circumstances.
-Henry David Thoreau
