"God loves each of us as if there were only one of us."
"Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man."
"The devil has put a penalty on all things we enjoy in life. Either we suffer in our health, or we suffer in our soul, or we get fat."
"The more you succeed in loving, the more you'll be convinced at the existence of God and the immortality of your soul."
"The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mystical. It is the power of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their most primitive forms - this knowledge, this feeling, is at the center of true religiousness. In this sense, and in this sense only, I belong to the rank of devoutly religious men."
"There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'"
"The truth is you and I are in control of only two things - how we prepare for what might happen and how we respond to what just happened. The moment when things actually do happen belongs to God."
"My prayer today is that we will feel the loving arms of God wrapped around us, and will know in our hearts that He will never forsake us as we trust in Him."
"Too much study of the scriptures does more harm than good. The important thing is to know the essence of the scriptures. After that, what is the need of books? One should learn the essence and then dive deep in order to realize God."
"My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness."
"Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it."
"Gods always behave like the people who make them."
"The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love."
"The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."
"Stand up straight and realize who you are, that you tower over your circumstances. You are a child of God. Stand up straight."
"God enjoins you to treat women well, for they are your mothers, daughters, aunts."
"I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the kind that we experience in ourselves. Neither can I nor would I want to conceive of an individual that survives his physical death; let feeble souls, from fear or absurd egoism, cherish such thoughts. I am satisfied with the mystery of the eternity of life and with the awareness and a glimpse of the marvelous structure of the existing world, together with the devoted striving to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the Reason that manifests itself in nature."
"Good morning, this is God. I will be handling all of your problems today. I will not need your help, so have a miraculous day."
"I don't stand for the black man's side, I don' t stand for the white man's side. I stand for God's side."
