All men are children, and of one family. The same tale sends them all to bed, and wakes them in the morning.

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
God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons that we could learn in no other way.
-C. S. Lewis
To you I’m an atheist. To God I’m the loyal opposition.
-Woody Allen
Far better it is for you to say: I am a sinner, than to say: I have no need of religion. The empty can be filled, but the self-intoxicated have no room for God.
-Fulton J. Sheen
"Seven Words of Jesus and Mary: Lessons from Cana and Calvary"
God is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life.
-Swami Vivekananda
Is man one of God's blunders? Or is God one of man's blunders?
-Friedrich Nietzsche
A person once asked me in a provocative manner, if I approved of homosexuality. I replied with another question: “Tell me, when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?” We must always consider the person.
-Pope Francis "Pope Francis"
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.
-Sri Aurobindo "Sri Aurobindo"
God can be realized through all paths. All religions are true. The important thing is to reach the roof. You can reach it by stone stairs or by wooden stairs or by bamboo steps or by a rope. You can also climb up by a bamboo pole.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
