god

"He died not for men, but for each man. If each man had been the only man made, He would have done no less."

"Self abandoned, relaxed and effortless, I seemed to have laid me down in the dried-up bed of a great river; I heard a flood loosened in remote mountains, I felt the torrent come; to rise I had no will, to flee I had no strength."

"When we look for success, it should be for the sole purpose of boasting sincerely in Christ. There's no other reason for it. Success is only worth it when the more intense it gets for you, the more you find yourself bragging for his glory rather than your own."

"Man is a spiritual being, a soul, and at some period of his life everyone is possessed with an irresistible desire to know his relationship to the Infinite. . . . There is something within him which urges him to rise above himself, to control his environment, to master the body and all things physical and live in a higher and more beautiful world."

"The hypothesis of God, for instance, gives an incomparably absolute opportunity to understand everything and know absolutely nothing.

Just a few memorized formulas plus so-called intuition and so-called common sense."

"[God] will not be used as a convenience. Men or nations who think they can revive the Faith in order to make a good society might just as well think they can use the stairs of heaven as a shortcut to the nearest chemist's shop."

"But for me the sweetest contact with God has no form. I close my eyes, look within, and enter a deep soft silence. The infinity of God's creation embraces me."

"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed."

"If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to."

"And so must learn to love with our mouths and voices, as well as with our eyes, flesh, heart, brains, and with everything we have, right down to our toenails. There is not anything about us that cannot love, and that is not called to love, and that is not destined to be turned, conformed, and reduced to pure love. It ...is the priceless deposit left by the burning away of selfishness."

"Our intellect is not intended to be an end in itself, but only a means to the very mind of God."

"Marriage isn't about Winning - It's about Lasting"

"I talk to God but the sky is empty."

"There is a God part in you. The consciousness. The pure Self. Learn to listen the voice of that Power."

"It is far more comforting to think God listened and said no, than to think that nobody’s out there."

"God is the reason I’m surviving, but he’s sure used you in my life wonderfully. I love you."

"Anyone who doesn't fear God, has no idea at all about Him."
