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
You are my hope and my refuge in the day of my trouble.
-Jesus Christ
Love is the firstborn, loftier than the gods, fathers and men. You, O Love, are the eldest of all, altogether mighty. To you we pay homage!...
-Vedas "Atharva Veda"
God is as present as the air.
-Michael Holding
It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are 20 gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
-Thomas Jefferson
When you know you own God you will not be in a hurry to get something out of God.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how a man could look up into the heavens and say there is no God.
-Abraham Lincoln
The just is close to the people's heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God.
-Khalil Gibran
