“Spiritual life begins to decay when we fail to sense the grandeur of what is eternal in time.”

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.
