Annie Besant66 quotes“God is immanent in every atom, all-pervading, all-sustaining, all-evolving; He is its source and its end, its cause and its object, its centre and circumference; it is built on Him as its sure foundation, it breathes in Him as its encircling space; He is in everything and everything in Him.”

Annie BesantAnnie Besant Muhammadan law in its relation to women, is a pattern to European law. Look back to the history of Islam, and you will find that women have often taken leading places – on the throne, in the battle-field, in politics, in literature, poetry, etc.

Annie BesantAnnie Besant There is much, of course, in the exclusive claims of Christianity which make it hostile to other faiths.
Annie BesantAnnie Besant Strange indeed would it be if all the space around us be empty, mere waste void, and the inhabitants of Earth the only forms in which intelligence could clothe itself.
Annie BesantAnnie Besant Death consists, indeed, in a repeated process of unrobing, or unsheathing. The immortal part of man shakes off from itself, one after the other, its outer casings, and – as the snake from its skin, the butterfly from its chrysalis – emerges from one after another, passing into a higher state of consciousness.
Annie BesantAnnie Besant Better remain silent, better not even think, if you are not prepared to act.
Annie BesantAnnie Besant No durable things are built on violent passion. Nature grows her plants in silence and in darkness, and only when they have become strong do they put their heads above the ground.
Annie BesantAnnie Besant Liberty is a great celestial Goddess, strong, beneficent, and austere, and she can never descend upon a nation by the shouting of crowds, nor by arguments of unbridled passion, nor by the hatred of class against class.
Annie BesantAnnie Besant You should always take a religion at its best and not at its worst, from its highest teachings and not from the lowest practices of some of its adherents.
