-Galileo Galilei
Quotations
God
Likewise the spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words. And he who searches the hearts of men knows the mind of the spirit, because the spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
-Bible "Romans 8.26-27"
If there is a God, atheism must seem to Him as less of an insult than religion.
-Edmond De Goncourt
God loveth those who are pure. No one is more loved than one of purity and immaculate cleanliness.
-A Spiritual Leader "The Báb"
God first created light, all men are born out of it. The whole world came out of a single spark; who is good and who is bad? The Creator is in the creation, and the creation in the Creator, He is everywhere…He who surrenders to Him gets to know Him. God is invisible, He cannot be seen. The Guru has granted me this sweet gift. My doubts are dispelled. I have seen the Pure with my own eyes.
-A Spiritual Leader "Guru Hargobind Singh"
God is taking a nap within my soul. I ponder whether to wake Him or not.
-Harley King
Because God has made us for Himself, our hearts are restless until they rest in Him.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
All men are children, and of one family. The same tale sends them all to bed, and wakes them in the morning.
-Henry David Thoreau
God waits to win back his own flowers as gifts from man's hands.
-Rabindranath Tagore
"Stray Birds"
The artist must be in his work as God is in creation, invisible and all-powerful; his presence should be felt everywhere, but he should never be seen.
-Gustave Flaubert
