God is the same God, always and everywhere. He is omnipresent not virtually only, but also substantially, for virtue cannot subsist without substance.

The God of this world is riches, pleasure and pride.

Every natural object is a conductor of divinity and only by coming into contact with them… may we be filled with the Holy Ghost.

I always was a Christian… whatsoever a man thinks in his heart is who he is.

That God does not exist, I cannot deny, That my whole being cries out for God I cannot forget.

If you can feel that Mother Earth is in you, and you are Mother Earth, then you are not any longer afraid to die because the earth is not dying. Like a wave appears and disappears and appears again.

What I call my ‚self‘ now is hardly a person at all. It’s mainly a meeting place for various natural forces, desires, and fears, etcetera, some of which come from my ancestors, and some from my education, some perhaps from devils. The self you were really intended to be is something that lives not from nature but from God.

You can have religion with spirituality. You can also have religion without spirituality.

The end of life is to be like God, and the soul following God will be like Him.

I believe God wants you to have money to pay your bills, send your kids to college and do charity work and build orphanages. There’s the teaching that we’re supposed to be poor to show that we’re humble. I don’t buy that. I think we’re supposed to be leaders. We’re supposed to excel.

What can everyone do? Praise and blame. This is human virtue, this is human madness.

I don’t write the books. God writes the books and delivers the speeches.

Peace is not the absence of war, but a virtue based on strength of character.

For me, the Immaculate Conception is the feast of ‚passive action,‘ the action that functions simply by the transmission through us of divine energy. Purity, in spite of outward appearances, is essentially an active virtue, because it concentrates God in us and on those who are subject to our influence.

I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn’t need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about.

Virtue is not left to stand alone. He who practices it will have neighbors.

The ‚kingdom of Heaven‘ is a condition of the heart – not something that comes ‚upon the earth‘ or ‚after death.‘

God sent me on earth. He send me to do something, and nobody can stop me. If God want to stop me, then I stop. Man never can.

Dear friends, we may well sing to our Beloved when it is near the time of our departure. It draws near, and as it approaches, we must not dread it, but rather thank God for it.

There’s only one effectively redemptive sacrifice, the sacrifice of self-will to make room for the knowledge of God.

There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in – that we do it to God, to Christ, and that’s why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.

God may be subtle, but he isn’t plain mean.

Religion, born of the earth’s need for the disclosing of a god, is related to and co-extensive with not the individual man, but the whole of mankind.

When granted many years of life, growing old in age is natural, but growing old with grace is a choice. Growing older with grace is possible for all who will set their hearts and minds on the Giver of grace, the Lord Jesus Christ.

I add this, that rational ability without education has oftener raised man to glory and virtue, than education without natural ability.

I always want to listen to people and receive good criticism, but I just don’t have to answer to them; I have to answer to God.

Right now, we don’t have a very good relation with creation.

Free will carried many a soul to hell, but never a soul to heaven.

Somehow, we have come to the erroneous belief that we are all but flesh, blood, and bones, and that’s all. So we direct our values to material things.

Let man live at a distance from God, and the universe remains neutral or hostile to him. But let man believe in God, and immediately all around him the elements, even the irksome, of the inevitable organize themselves into a friendly whole, ordered to the ultimate success of life.

Crime when it succeeds is called virtue.

All the religions of the world, while they may differ in other respects, unitedly proclaim that nothing lives in this world but Truth.

I serve God.

A church is a place in which gentlemen who have never been to heaven brag about it to persons who will never get there.

I always ask God to work through me and let me be a light of some kind and help in this world, so I always pray for that, and I always want to do good.

I always say that people should not rush to change religions. There is real value in finding the spiritual resources you need in your home religion.

Great indeed is the sublimity of the Creative, to which all beings owe their beginning and which permeates all heaven.

I’m a religious woman. And I feel I have responsibility. I have no modesty at all. I’m even afraid of it – it’s a learned affectation and it’s just stuck on me like decals. Now I pray for humility because that comes from inside out.

The devil is a peace stealer, and he works hard to set us up to get upset. But we can learn how to change our approach so we don’t live upset all of the time. And Jesus gives us the best example to follow.

Being part of a community with a church at its centre and singin‘ hymns is a great thing to do.

Satan wants us to constantly focus on everything that is wrong with us and look at how far we still have to go. But God desires for us to rejoice in how far we have already come.

God always takes the simplest way.

Let us all be brave enough to die the death of a martyr, but let no one lust for martyrdom.

Skepticism is a virtue in history as well as in philosophy.

I know, to banish anger altogether from one’s breast is a difficult task. It cannot be achieved through pure personal effort. It can be done only by God’s grace.

I try to speak in everyday language. I feel like God has gifted me to take Bible principles and make them practical.

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.

I believe that having a spiritual life is so important in everybody’s life.

We should not be so taken up in the search for truth, as to neglect the needful duties of active life; for it is only action that gives a true value and commendation to virtue.

Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder.

I don’t let my religious world get too complicated.

All that spirits desire, spirits attain.

The Lord can give, and the Lord can take away. I might be herding sheep next year.

I tell you in truth: all men are Prophets or else God does not exist.

When we enter into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, something wonderful happens: God begins to change our desires, and we want to be more like Him.

There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.

Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.

I describe myself as a simple Buddhist monk. No more, no less.

When you are spiritually connected, you are not looking for occasions to be offended, and you are not judging and labeling others. You are in a state of grace in which you know you are connected to God and thus free from the effects of anyone or anything external to yourself.

Whenever I’m confused about something, I ask God to reveal the answers to my questions, and he does.

I just want to lobby for God.
