Quotations
God
Many good sayings are to be found in holy books, but merely reading them will not make one religious. One must practice the virtues taught in such books in order to acquire love of God.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa "Ramakrishna Paramahansa"
God loveth those who are pure. No one is more loved than one of purity and immaculate cleanliness.
-A Spiritual Leader "The Báb"
Christ was crucified once, but his teachings suffer crucifixion every day at the hands of men of limited vision. Christ’s teachings cannot be understood just by reading the Bible…but by living and trying out in everyday life the principles taught in the book.
-A Spiritual Leader "Paramahansa Yogananda"
God can be realized through all paths. All religions are true. The important thing is to reach the roof. You can reach it by stone stairs or by wooden stairs or by bamboo steps or by a rope. You can also climb up by a bamboo pole.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
The young do not need God, and the old cannot find Him.
-Mignon McLaughlin
"The Second Neurotic's Notebook"
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"
You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.
-Swami Vivekananda
God is the color of water. Water doesn't have a color.
-James McBride
"The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother"
It is easy to understand God as long as you don't try to explain him.
-Joseph Joubert
