Quotations
God
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"
I think the reason we sometimes have the false sense that God is so far away is because that is where we have put him. We have kept him at a distance, and then when we are in need and call on him in prayer, we wonder where he is. He is exactly where we left him.
-Ravi Zacharias
"Has Christianity Failed You?"
All I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Perfection is the exclusive attribute of God, and it is indescribable, untranslatable. I do believe that it is possible for human beings to become perfect, even as God is perfect. It is necessary for all of us to aspire after that perfection but when that blessed state is attained, it becomes indescribable, indefinable.
-Mahatma Gandhi "Mahatma Gandhi"
Sincerity is a soul quality that God has given to every human being, but not all express it.

You ask: what is the meaning or purpose of life? I can only answer with another question: do you think we are wise enough to read God's mind?
-Freeman Dyson
