Mother Teresa
“I used to pray that God would feed the hungry, or do this or that, but now I pray that he will guide me to do whatever I'm supposed to do, what I can do. I used to pray for answers, but now I'm praying for strength. I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us and we change things.”
Mother Teresa

J.D. Salinger, Franny and Zooey

Meredith Russo
“Maybe secrets were part of life; maybe everyone had something they were lying to themselves about, or something they were hiding.
I looked up at the cross again and wondered if I was supposed to hear this particular sermon at this particular moment for a reason. I decided that the people who had said God didn’t love me, who said I didn’t have a place on Earth—they were wrong. God wanted me to live, and this was the only way I knew how to survive, so this was what God wanted. This was what I wanted. I had chosen to live, and it seemed like, finally, I was doing just that.”
Meredith Russo, If I Was Your Girl

“Looking behind, I am lifted with gratitude. Looking forward, I am filled with vision. Looking upward, I am filled with strength. Looking within, I discover peace.”
Sukhraj S. Dhillon

“Eat healthy. Work hard. Stay strong. Worry less. Dance more. Love often. Be happy...”
Sukhraj S. Dhillon, Science, Religion & Spirituality

Paul F. Knitter
“In their heart of hearts, religions deal with a Reality they recognize to be indefinable, incomprehensible, unspeakable.”
Paul F. Knitter, Without Buddha I Could Not be a Christian

“If from the prodigal son, we learned how to
repent, from the father, we learn how to forgive. Long before the offender came to his senses, forgiveness was already waiting.”
Dami Olu, When God Speaks in Parables (Volume 3): Understanding Jesus’ Parables on Forgiveness, Greed, and Wisdom (When God Speaks in Parables

“The Cross is where the flesh goes to die. Its hands can no longer reach for what it desires because they have been nailed to the Cross.”
Dami Olu, When God Speaks in Parables (Volume 3): Understanding Jesus’ Parables on Forgiveness, Greed, and Wisdom (When God Speaks in Parables

“A small puddle will reflect the moon in its own way and the big ocean will reflect it in its own way. Then there is great controversy. Hindus say something, Mohammedans say something else, Christians say something else again – and so on, so forth. The controversy is foolish. The conflict is meaningless. God is reflected in millions of ways, in millions of mirrors. Each mirror reflects in its own way. This is one of the fundamentals to be understood. Not understanding this fundamental there is naturally antagonism between religions, because they all think, “If our standpoint is right then the other has to be wrong.” Their rightness depends on the other’s wrongness. This is stupid. God is infinite, and you can look at him through many ways, through many windows. And naturally you can look at him only through yourself – you will be the window. Your God will reflect God as much as it will reflect you; you will both be there.”
Rajneesh

Niedria Dionne  Kenny
“If you are confident that it is the voice of GOD, why are you afraid?”
Niedria Dionne Kenny

“The sum total of all realities - perceived, conceived, observed or unobservable - all of them, in all forms, is but One Indivisible Totality. This "One" stays so in eternity, as infinity. It runs everything yet does not become anything. It is timeless, limitless, endless and beginningless. All comes from and goes unto it. Call "it" the Universal or Cosmic Self; or God. There is nothing else. Go search by yourself.”
Fakeer Ishavardas

“There is no ism "up there". Yours or mine. Also, there is no messiah, neither yours nor mine, up There. Neither is any human-like nor spirit-in-form god "there". Just a foreverness of one whole of totality is "out there". And whatever is There, is also the Reality "here". Oh, lest you make-up some other mumbo-jumbo, no "here" or "there" is. All a "One" is. Bow to "it". Less than this is not the Absolute. Is untruth.”
Fakeer Ishavardas

“Those who somehow get the oneness of all that is, live and die rich. They learn to love everybody and respect every thing. Even the no-nothing. Everybody else, poor or rich, lives and dies unchanged, unevolved, unresolved - akin the ever bent tail of a bitch. Oddly ill at ease. Or full of themselves; you know, bull's it. They go out with an ever nagging itch. Never getting the divine unity of everything, of That Which Is.”
Fakeer Ishavardas

“Chasing shadows of dreams that slipped through my grasp, I find solace in the unseen blessings written by divine hands.”
Faisal

Richard Rohr
“Remember, the only thing that separates you from God is the thought that you are separate from God!”
Richard Rohr, The Universal Christ: How a Forgotten Reality Can Change Everything We See, Hope For and Believe

Richard Rohr
“If any thought feels too harsh, shaming, or diminishing of yourself or others, it is not likely the voice of God…That is simply your voice.”
Richard Rohr, The Universal Christ: How a Forgotten Reality Can Change Everything We See, Hope For and Believe

“No scripture comes directly from God. They are collections of rules or values or both, that were shaped by the socio-economic conditions of a particular time and place. They reflect the needs and circumstances of that specific region in history.”
Siddharth Katragadda, The Other Wife: A Novel in Verse

Mohammed Zaki Ansari
“If you do not have the sense to understand religion from the right perspective, then you are in the trap of the world's largest and most profitable business”
Mohammed Zaki Ansari, "Zaki's Gift Of Love"

“Light is not a moral category but the substance of light itself.”
David Sten Herrstrom

S.D.  Hagen
“A timely and necessary guide for anyone caught between religion and non-belief.

There is a third path -- guided by reason, grounded in nature, and open to discovery.”
S.D. Hagen, An Alternative to Believing in Nothing: Deism for the 21st Century

Joseph  Moukarzel
“In the beginning was the night,
But the light spoke wisdom into the world.
Let us see, O’ Brother.
Let us hear, O’ Brother.”
Joseph Moukarzel, The Travelers: An Ancient Adventure of Gold, Magic and Forgotten Worlds

John Steinbeck
“I gotta see them folks that's gone out on the road. I got a feelin' I got to see them. They gonna need help no preachin' can give 'em. Hope of heaven when their lives ain't lived? Holy Sperit when their own sperit is downcast an' sad? They gonna need help. THey got to live before they can afford to die.”
John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath
