God doesn’t need to punish us. He just grants us a long enough life to punish ourselves.

God is not the name of God, but an opinion about Him.

People see God every day, they just don't recognize him.
-Pearl Bailey
God created man incorruptible, and made him in the image of his own nature, but through the devil’s envy, death came into the world.
To whom praise and blame are equal, who is silent, content with every fortune, home-renouncing, steadfast in mind, and worships Me, that person is dear to me.
He is the living One; there is no god but He: call upon Him, giving Him sincere devotion.
God’s purpose in creating the universe was to feel happiness when He saw the purpose of goodness fulfilled in the Heavenly Kingdom, which the whole of Creation, including man, could have established.
God has no religion.
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.
The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.
-Swami Vivekananda
