I think Bible principles are principles for life.

There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.

‚Tis love that makes the world go round, my baby.

I’m fascinated by the fact that we can’t grasp anything about time.

I am radically, insanely, nutty in love with Jesus!

I didn’t want to submit to the army and then, on the day of judgment, have God say to me, ‚Why did you do that?‘ This life is a trial, and you realize that what you do is going to be written down for Judgment Day.

The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.

If God dropped acid, would he see people?

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.

My family, frankly, they weren’t folks who went to church every week.

In heaven an angel is nobody in particular.

There is an optical illusion about every person we meet.

I happen to believe there is evil in the world.

I have to be seen to be believed.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn’t, than live as if there isn’t and to die to find out that there is.

All our actions, as well as our thoughts and words, should praise Him who always blesses us.

I look forward to death with great anticipation, to meeting God face to face.

Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.

To God everything is beautiful, good, and just; humans, however, think some things are unjust and others just.

Money is not required to buy one necessity of the soul.

They’re right to think that about me, because I’m the person most likely to sleep with my female fans, I genuinely love other women. And I think they know that.

It is perfectly possible to live a very moral life without a belief in God, and I think it’s perfectly possible to live a life peppered with ill-doing and believe in God.

As a child of God, I am greater than anything that can happen to me.

All are but parts of one stupendous whole, Whose body Nature is, and God the soul.

If time is not real, then the dividing line between this world and eternity, between suffering and bliss, between good and evil, is also an illusion.

I was inspired to spend an entire year – my 65th year – reading, researching, and meditating on Lao-tzu’s messages, practicing them and ultimately writing down these insights as I felt Lao-tzu wanted us to know them.

Really, I have to laugh because there was a whole set of stories that made me sound like the Dragon Lady, you know, ‚tough this and tough that.‘ Then there is this business about ‚gooey.‘ The bottom line is I am a pragmatic idealist.

Nothing is further than earth from heaven, and nothing is nearer than heaven to earth.

No iron chain, or outward force of any kind, can ever compel the soul of a person to believe or to disbelieve.

To be a monk is to have time to practice for your transformation and healing. And after that to help with the transformation and healing of other people.

When men do not have healthy notions of the Divinity, false ideas supplant them, just as in bad times one uses counterfeit money when there is no good money.

I have a dogmatic certainty: God is in every person’s life. God is in everyone’s life. Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, even if it is destroyed by vices, drugs or anything else – God is in this person’s life. You can – you must – try to seek God in every human life.

I believe in believing. My coach John Kavanagh is a big atheist, and he is always trying to persuade people to his way of thinking, and I think, ‚What a waste of energy.‘ If people want to believe in this god or that god, that’s fine by me; believe away. But I think we can be our own gods. I believe in myself.

It seems that when you have cancer you are a brave battler against the disease, but when you have Alzheimer’s you are an old fart. That’s how people see you. It makes you feel quite alone.

There is only one difference between a madman and me. The madman thinks he is sane. I know I am mad.

Before the effect one believes in different causes than one does after the effect.

I’m going to let God be the judge of who goes to heaven and hell.

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.

Why is it that although it takes us years to get into our messes, we expect God to get us out of them in a few days?

The free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it – basically because you feel good, very good, when you are near or with them.

This world of ours… must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.

I wake up every day inspiring myself, because God gave me life.

I was terrible in English. I couldn’t stand the subject. It seemed to me ridiculous to worry about whether you spelled something wrong or not, because English spelling is just a human convention – it has nothing to do with anything real, anything from nature.

Our prayers should be for blessings in general, for God knows best what is good for us.

Nothing is so good as it seems beforehand.

The companies that work are the ones that people really care about and have a vision for the world so do something you like.
