“A prophet’s true greatness is his ability to hold God and man in a single thought.”

A religious man is a person who holds God and man in one thought at one time

The idea of dependence is an explanation, whereas self-sufficiency is an unprecedented, nonanalogous concept in terms of what we know about life within nature.

Ultimately there is no power to narcissistic, self-indulgent thinking. Authentic thinking originates with an encounter with the world.

It is of the essence of virtue that the good is not to be done for the sake of a reward.

To serve does not mean to surrender but to share.

To pray is to dream in league with God, to envision His holy visions.

Knowledge-like the sky- is never private property. No teacher has a right to withhold it from anyone who asks for it. Teaching is the art of sharing.

Time is an essential dimension of existence defiant of man’s power, and truth reigns in supreme majesty, unrivaled, inimitable, and can never be defeated.

To sense the ultimate in the common and the simple, to feel in the rush of the passing the stillness of the eternal.

In a controversy, the instant we feel anger, we have already ceased striving for truth and have begun striving for ourselves.

The issue of prayer is not prayer; the issue of prayer is God.

Mankind will not perish for want of information; but only for want of appreciation.

To answer, to live in a way which is compatible with the grandeur and mystery of living.

We can all do our share to redeem the world in spite of all absurdities and all frustrations and all disappointments.

Mankind will not die for lack of information; it may perish for lack of appreciation.

When I see an act of evil I don’t accomodate, I don’t accomodate myself to the violence that goes on everywhere.

I’m holding onto you, like a cloud holds rain. Knowing at some point I must let go. But waiting for the perfect storm, that will make it so much easier.

I pity from the bottom of my heart any individual who is so unfortunate as to get into the habit of holding race prejudice, for nothing else makes one so blind and narrow.

There is no love affair held in these hands. I am reminded of this time and again.

You can’t hold a man down without staying down with him.

Weary hearts can still hold love.

If I had a wishing well, I’d wish you well. That the skies hold the key to all you’ve ever wanted, with or without me.

Holding a grudge does not hurt the person against whom the grudge is held, it hurts the one who holds it.

I’m holding happiness as though it never left it was always below my skin. Waiting to be seen waiting for the opportunity to breathe again.
