My home is in Heaven. I’m just traveling through this world.

Today I can declare my hope and declare it from the bottom of my heart that we will eventually see the time when that number of nuclear weapons is down to zero and the world is a much better place.

The theoretical understanding of the world, which is the aim of philosophy, is not a matter of great practical importance to animals, or to savages, or even to most civilised men.

I love to travel, but hate to arrive.

‚God‘ is a relative word and has a respect to servants, and ‚Deity‘ is the dominion of God, not over his own body, as those imagine who fancy God to be the soul of the world, but over servants.

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.

The gospel to me is simply irresistible.

I’m a wandering gypsy.

I would like to go back to Wales. I’m obsessed with my childhood and at least three times a week dream I am back there.

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.

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

The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.

It ain’t those parts of the Bible that I can’t understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand.

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

It’s a mystery. That’s the first thing that interests me about the idea of God. If there is one, it’s mysterious and powerful and awesome to even consider the concept, and you have to take it seriously.

Heaven cannot brook two suns, nor earth two masters.

The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.

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

God’s Spirit moves through us and the world at a pace that can never be constricted by any one religious paradigm.

Religion has the right to express its opinion in the service of the people, but God in creation has set us free: it is not possible to interfere spiritually in the life of a person.

Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.

You just have to have a simple faith.

There is not a truth existing which I fear… or would wish unknown to the whole world.

I’m honest enough to say I don’t know everything. You know, I don’t. I don’t understand all of God. I don’t understand, you know, some kind of why bad things happen.

The purpose of a vacation is to have the time to rest. But many of us, even when we go on vacation, don’t know how to rest. We may even come back more tired than before we left.

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.

Great thoughts and a pure heart, that is what we should ask from God.

Don’t matter how much money you got, there’s only two kinds of people: there’s saved people and there’s lost people.

Lord sanctify us. Oh! That Thy spirit might come and saturate every faculty, subdue every passion, and use every power of our nature for obedience to God.

I’ve lived in a big showplace house, and I never want to live again in a house that overshadows me.

When it comes to our everyday habits, it’s important to ask: ‚Am I putting God first?‘

A strong argument for the religion of Christ is this – that offences against Charity are about the only ones which men on their death-beds can be made – not to understand – but to feel – as crime.

I love driving my car on any highway.

Any of us can be happy and have a good attitude when everything is going our way. But I believe it’s the real test of your character and of your faith to say, ‚Things are not going our way, but I’m still being good to people; I’m still attending church; I still have a good attitude.‘

I gave in, and admitted that God was God.

One of my major keys is actually the master keys: God.

Oh, these vast, calm, measureless mountain days, days in whose light everything seems equally divine, opening a thousand windows to show us God.

A covenant made with God should be regarded not as restrictive but as protective.

Sometimes the greatest meals on vacations are the ones you find when Plan A falls through.

It doesn’t matter who likes you or doesn’t like you, all that matters is that God likes you. He accepts you, he approves of you.

Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.

Man is an exception, whatever else he is. If he is not the image of God, then he is a disease of the dust. If it is not true that a divine being fell, then we can only say that one of the animals went entirely off its head.

Against my will, in the course of my travels, the belief that everything worth knowing was known at Cambridge gradually wore off. In this respect my travels were very useful to me.

I guess I wanted to leave America for awhile. It wasn’t that I wanted to become an expatriate, or just never come back, I needed some breathing room. I’d already been translating French poetry, I’d been to Paris once before and liked it very much, and so I just went.

Hong Kong is a wonderful, mixed-up town where you’ve got great food and adventure. First and foremost, it’s a great place to experience China in a relatively accessible way.

I was born into the world as the king of truth for the salvation of the world.

Every day I try to be in communication with the universe in an unconscious way.

Strong emotions such as passion and bliss are indications that you’re connected to Spirit, or ‚inspired,‘ if you will. When you’re inspired, you activate dormant forces, and the abundance you seek in any form comes streaming into your life.

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.

Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason.

There is nothing more miserable in the world than to arrive in paradise and look like your passport photo.

The traveller has reached the end of the journey!

The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years.

Everywhere on Earth, at this moment, in the new spiritual atmosphere created by the appearance of the idea of evolution, there float, in a state of extreme mutual sensitivity, love of God and faith in the world: the two essential components of the Ultra-human.

Start with God – the first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning.

When I arrived in Laos and found young Americans living there, out of free choice, I was surprised. After only a week, I began to have a sense of the appeal of the country and its people – along with despair about its future.

I still make sure to go, at least once every year, to a country where things cannot be taken for granted, and where there is either too much law and order or too little.

When my dad founded our church, he used either a globe or a map of the world behind him. It was symbolic of what Christ said: to go forth and preach hope to the world. We believe in the cross, but we just continued with the globe.

Growing up, my grandmother did not want worldly music in the house. Then when I went out to California, I started listening to Spanish music, mostly Mexican music. But were I in Egypt, I would listen to the music of the people, or if I was in Italy, I’d listen to Italian music.

Worshipping is stripping ourselves of our idols, even the most hidden ones, and choosing the Lord as the centre, as the highway of our lives.

I think it’s a very good thing to leave your country and look at it from afar.
