It is better to have God over your shoulder, than carry the world alone on your back.

Quotations
God
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
-Mother Teresa
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
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 is not the name of God, but an opinion about Him.
-Pope Sixtus I
"The Ring"
Offer your gratitude to God. Then you will feel that inside you a sweet, fragrant and beautiful flower is growing. That is the flower of humility.
-Sri Chinmoy "Sri Chinmoy"
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
-Alan Watts
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.
-Scriptures "The Book of Right Feeling"
All things belong to God, as do all places. I am forever a sacrifice to God.
-Vedas "Atharva Veda"
God is taking a nap within my soul. I ponder whether to wake Him or not.
-Harley King
