“If I were to ask the famous Henry Ford to come over here and do what I tell him to do, would he do it? Never! But if I were to make a thousand-year-old corpse come alive before his eyes, he would jump at the chance to stay here and wash my clothes!”

The seeker asking, Where is God? Is really God saying, Where indeed is the seeker!

But such a tiny and trivial thing as an umbrella can deprive you of the sight of such a stupendous fact as the sun.

Long for what is real. You will then have no time for worrying over what may never happen.

There is no difference in the realization of the Truth either by a Muslim, Hindu, Zoroastrian, or a Christian. The difference is only in words and terms. Truth is not the monopoly of a particular race or religion.

Why is it so difficult to find God? Because you’re looking for something you’ve never lost.

Forgiveness is the best charity. (It is easy to give the poor money and goods when one has plenty, but to forgive is hard; but it is the best thing if one can do it.)

Life becomes meaningful and all activities are purposeful only on the basis of faith in the enduring reality.

God has to be temporarily cruel in order to be permanently kind.

If we understand and feel that the greatest act of devotion and worship to God is not to harm any of His beings, we are loving God.

God and love are identical, and one who has divine love has received God.

Who says God has created this world? We have created it by our own imagination.

Feelings and emotions are only the creation of mind and energy. Love is the creation of the soul.

Worry has never done anyone any good, and it is very much worse than mere dissipation of psychic energy, for it substantially curtails the joy and fullness of life.

External silence helps to achieve inner Silence.

The intellect of most persons is harnessed by innumerable wants. From the spiritual point of view, such a life is the lowest type of human existence. The highest type of human existence is free from all wants and is characterised by sufficiency or contentment.

I like to watch the way a model moves in my clothes, the way she gives them life, or if they are wrong, stillborn, the way her life rejects them.

As a Christian, you forgive, and you feed the hungry and clothe the naked, and you visit the sick and comfort the lonely.

I do like to keep mementos from my work, whether they be photos, the backs of make-up chairs or even props and clothes.

If I were you I would face my clothes, to make sure that no one runs off with them!
