Your body has space within you that cannot die.

I do not know myself, and God forbid that I should.

It’s very hard to live with yourself if you don’t stick with your moral code.

At eighteen our convictions are hills from which we look; at forty-five they are caves in which we hide.

It is a great piece of folly to attempt to make anything out of my early life.

Spiritual relationship is far more precious than physical. Physical relationship divorced from spiritual is body without soul.

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

We run carelessly to the precipice, after we have put something before us to prevent us seeing it.

What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.

God enters by a private door into every individual.

The superior man is distressed by the limitations of his ability; he is not distressed by the fact that men do not recognize the ability that he has.

‚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.

The experience of God, or in any case the possibility of experiencing God, is innate.

I’m quite a chauvinistic person.

As a leader, the first person I need to lead is me. The first person that I should try to change is me.

I can never say ‚why‘ about anything I do. I suppose I can say ‚how‘ and ‚when‘ and ‚what.‘ But ‚why‘ is impenetrable to me.

Knowledge of the self is the mother of all knowledge. So it is incumbent on me to know my self, to know it completely, to know its minutiae, its characteristics, its subtleties, and its very atoms.

The big message of gospel is that you don’t have to keep fighting the universe; you can stop, and the universe is quite good to you. There is a loss of ego.

God in the beginning formed matter in solid, massy, hard, impenetrable, movable particles, of such sizes and figures, and with such other properties, and in such proportion to space, as most conduced to the end for which he formed them.

I was in my thirteenth year when I heard a voice from God to help me govern my conduct. And the first time I was very much afraid.

I’m actually an evangelical atheist, but there is something I recognise about religion: that it gives people a chance to surrender.

I’m very secure about my talents and about who I am.

I know I got angels watchin me from the other side.

How people themselves perceive what they are doing is not a question that interests me.

I never get too high on my stardom or what I can do.

There is a power in God’s gospel beyond all description.

We all self-conscious. I’m just the first to admit it.

I think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.

None but ourselves can free our minds.

I know who I am, I know what I can and can’t do. I know what I will and won’t do. I know what I’m capable of and I don’t agree to do things that I don’t think I can pull off.

I’m not a marketing person. I don’t ask myself questions. I go by instinct.

Religion flourishes in greater purity, without than with the aid of Government.

I am not the humblest person in the world. I admit that.

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

I understand aggressiveness in only one way: being prepared to hurt yourself, not someone else.

All religions try to benefit people, with the same basic message of the need for love and compassion, for justice and honesty, for contentment.

When it comes to everybody else’s thing and their lane and their timing, I’m never doing anything intentional to, like, come after somebody. That will always be my biggest mistake or anybody’s biggest mistake if that’s their intention.

In this business you have to develop a thick skin, but I’m always going to feel everything. It’s my nature.

The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.

There could be shadow galaxies, shadow stars, and even shadow people.

Nothing that was worthy in the past departs; no truth or goodness realized by man ever dies, or can die.

If you are living out of a sense of obligation you are slave.

You know, it’s not the world that was my oppressor, because what the world does to you, if the world does it to you long enough and effectively enough, you begin to do to yourself.

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

I don’t go around thinking I’m Ray Bradbury all the time.

I have lost my mental faculties but am perfectly well.

Conversion is not my intention. Changing religion is not easy. You may develop some kind of confusion or difficulties.

An identity would seem to be arrived at by the way in which the person faces and uses his experience.

Religion is just mind control.

One advantage in keeping a diary is that you become aware with reassuring clarity of the changes which you constantly suffer.

You better take care of me Lord, if you don’t you’re gonna have me on your hands.

It is unwise to be too sure of one’s own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.

Plenty of people wish to become devout, but no one wishes to be humble.

As a member of the Church, you have made sacred covenants with the Lord.

In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe, becomes a person who has no faith at all.

I was not a messiah, but an ordinary man who had become a leader because of extraordinary circumstances.

Miracles do not, in fact, break the laws of nature.

The truth is that you can only come to know God when you give up the past and the future in your mind and merge totally into the now, because God is always here now.

It is better to have your head in the clouds, and know where you are… than to breathe the clearer atmosphere below them, and think that you are in paradise.

We are second-hand people. We have lived on what we have been told, either guided by our inclinations, our tendencies, or compelled to accept by circumstances and environment. We are the result of all kinds of influences, and there is nothing new in us, nothing that we have discovered for ourselves: nothing original, pristine, clear.

The essence of all religions is one. Only their approaches are different.
