If there is a God, atheism must seem to Him as less of an insult than religion.

In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work and look around you.
-Leo Tolstoy
Sincerity is a soul quality that God has given to every human being, but not all express it.
Hear good things, see good, do good, think good, then you get the Grace of God, as all the evil tendencies will be uprooted.
The artist must be in his work as God is in creation, invisible and all-powerful; his presence should be felt everywhere, but he should never be seen.
-Gustave Flaubert
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.
Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who sets the planets in motion.
-Issac Newton
Anyone that is fallen into the grip of lust, wrath, or attachment…by contemplation of the Supreme Being, with a moment’s remembrance of God shall he be saved.
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.
Because God has made us for Himself, our hearts are restless until they rest in Him.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
