Set your faces towards unity, and let the radiance of its light shine upon you. Gather ye together, and for the sake of God resolve to root out whatever is the source of contention among you. Then will the effulgence of the world’s great Luminary envelop the whole earth, and its inhabitants become citizens of one city, and the occupants of one and the same throne.
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
You are my hope and my refuge in the day of my trouble.
-Jesus Christ
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!
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.
And if God had not repelled some men by others, the earth would have been corrupted.
Everyone has in him something divine, something his own, a chance of perfection and strength in however small a sphere which God offers him to take or refuse. The task is to find it, develop it and use it.
God often visits us, but most of the time we are not at home.
-Joseph Roux

I’d hate to be an atheist, die, and meet God only to have him say, I’m sorry, but I don’t believe in you.
-Robert G. Lee
To you I’m an atheist. To God I’m the loyal opposition.
-Woody Allen
