It’s wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.

For greed all nature is too little.

We all have two lives: an inner life and an outer life. Your inner life is your soul life, which includes your mind, will and emotions. Your outer life is your physical life. And while God cares about every detail of your life, He is more concerned with your inner life than your outer life.

To say that Christ is the term and motive force of evolution, to say that he manifests himself as ‚evolver,‘ is implicitly to recognize that he becomes attainable in and through the whole process of evolution.

The extent of your consciousness is limited only by your ability to love and to embrace with your love the space around you, and all it contains.

As for our great King, when we venture into His presence, let us have a purpose there. Let us beware of playing at praying; it is insolence toward God.

Habit is a second nature that destroys the first. But what is nature? Why is habit not natural? I am very much afraid that nature itself is only a first habit, just as habit is a second nature.

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.

He best keeps from anger who remembers that God is always looking upon him.

If you do things, whether it’s acting or music or painting, do it without fear – that’s my philosophy. Because nobody can arrest you and put you in jail if you paint badly, so there’s nothing to lose.

Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

Probably because I’m from a middle class family, I have that nature in me that I don’t get too excited with big things.

Suffering by nature or chance never seems so painful as suffering inflicted on us by the arbitrary will of another.

The least movement is of importance to all nature. The entire ocean is affected by a pebble.

Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don’t complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don’t bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!

Thank God, I never was cheerful. I come from the happy stock of the Mathers, who, as you remember, passed sweet mornings reflecting on the goodness of God and the damnation of infants.

What is the Tao Te Ching? Five hundred years before the birth of Jesus, a God-realized being named Lao-tzu in ancient China dictated 81 verses which are regarded by many as the ultimate commentary on the nature of existence.

What nature requires is obtainable, and within easy reach. It is for the superfluous we sweat.

Poetry is the key to the hieroglyphics of nature.

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.

If you have God on your side, everything becomes clear.

The coniferous forests of the Yosemite Park, and of the Sierra in general, surpass all others of their kind in America, or indeed the world, not only in the size and beauty of the trees, but in the number of species assembled together, and the grandeur of the mountains they are growing on.

I was born on a full moon. Both my children were born on full moons, too. Some people say that’s scary. It is what it is, man, I don’t be trippin‘. I couldn’t tell God when I wanted to be born.

Indeed, the Lord has not forgotten! He has blessed us and others throughout the world with the Book of Mormon.

The roots of the problems we face in the world, in our national life, and in our family and personal lives are spiritual.

We clearly see in God’s Word that anything He tells us to do, He will give us the ability to do it. But do we really believe it? Do we want to believe it? It’s easier to come up with excuses for why we can’t do things that are hard or that we really don’t want to do.

I pray while driving. I pray while working, and while relaxing.

Pride is an independent, me-oriented spirit. It makes people arrogant, rude and hard to get along with. When our heart is prideful, we don’t give God the credit and we mistreat people, looking down on them and thinking we deserve what we have.

The question of whether or not there is a God or truth or reality or whatever you like to call it, can never be answered by books, by priests, philosopher’s or saviours. Nobody and nothing can answer the question but you yourself, and that is why you must know yourself – Immaturity lies only in total ignorance of self.

If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it.

For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?

I’ve discovered that when we take time to renew our minds with God’s Word, we learn how to think like God thinks, say what God says, and act like He wants us to act.

Ah, mon cher, for anyone who is alone, without God and without a master, the weight of days is dreadful.

Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.

Yes, God does expect us to live holy, consecrated lives. But not even the best of our intentions can make it happen. Thankfully, He doesn’t expect us to make ourselves holy. He just wants us to learn to depend on Him to make us holy.

Going to the woods is going home, for I suppose we came from the woods originally. But in some of nature’s forests, the adventurous traveler seems a feeble, unwelcome creature; wild beasts and the weather trying to kill him, the rank, tangled vegetation, armed with spears and stinging needles, barring his way and making life a hard struggle.

For me, the essence of the great American Dream is spiritual. I believe that our Constitution is inspired and that it is based on principles that are timeless and universal. This is the reason why 95% of all written constitutions throughout the world are modeled after our Constitution.

God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

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 finite is annihilated in the presence of the infinite, and becomes a pure nothing. So our spirit before God, so our justice before divine justice.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

It’s certainly not wrong to want to be a better person. God gave us that desire.

For me, it’s about the way I carry myself and the way I treat other people. My relationship and how I feel about God and what He does for me, is something deeply personal. It’s where I came from, my family, I was brought up in a religious household and that’s very important to me.

Regarded zoologically, man is today an almost isolated figure in nature. In his cradle, he was less isolated.

We do not pray to God to instruct Him as to what He should do; neither for a moment must we presume to dictate the method of the divine working.

I think faith is incredibly important because you will become overwhelmed with what’s happening and you will have waves of grief, but when you turn to your faith, I believe God will give you waves of grace to get through it.

Nature hates calculators.

I believe that a trusting attitude and a patient attitude go hand in hand. You see, when you let go and learn to trust God, it releases joy in your life. And when you trust God, you’re able to be more patient. Patience is not just about waiting for something… it’s about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting.

If we had a keen vision of all that is ordinary in human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow or the squirrel’s heart beat, and we should die of that roar which is the other side of silence.

There is nothing in this world that can compare with the Christian fellowship; nothing that can satisfy but Christ.

I die adoring God, loving my friends, not hating my enemies, and detesting superstition.

There is no uncreated being except God. God has no opposite.

Let us be silent, that we may hear the whispers of the gods.

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.

All great and beautiful work has come of first gazing without shrinking into the darkness.

The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.

Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God’s handwriting.

Development of outlook naturally begins with a respect for God… Reverence to God and reverence for one’s neighbor and reverence for oneself as a servant of God.

I am fearless.

Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god.
