Quotations
God
If you have men who will exclude any of God’s creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.
-Saint Francis of Assisi "St. Francis of Assisi"
To hate man and love god seems to be the sum of all creeds.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
Heaven means to be one with God.
-Confucius
Even the gods love jokes.
-Plato "Plato"
Realise your oneness with God, remaining continually intent on identifying with its nature, and joyfully drink the bliss of God within, for what use is there in other, empty things?
-Adi Shankara "Adi Shankara"
God first created light, all men are born out of it. The whole world came out of a single spark; who is good and who is bad? The Creator is in the creation, and the creation in the Creator, He is everywhere…He who surrenders to Him gets to know Him. God is invisible, He cannot be seen. The Guru has granted me this sweet gift. My doubts are dispelled. I have seen the Pure with my own eyes.
-A Spiritual Leader "Guru Hargobind Singh"
God doesn’t need to punish us. He just grants us a long enough life to punish ourselves.
-Barbara Kingsolver
"The Poisonwood Bible"
By the cross we, too, are crucified with Christ; but alive in Christ. We are no more rebels, but servants; no more servants, but sons!
-Frederic W. Farrar "Frederic. W. Farrar"
Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
-Jesus Christ
