“That man can never transcend his own self. The most fatal trap into which thinking may fall is the equation of existence and expediency.”

Only in His presence shall we learn that the glory of humankind is not in its will to power but in its power of compassion.

Sometimes we wish the world could cry and tell us about that which made it pregnant with fear-filling grandeur. Sometimes we wish our own heart would speak of that which made it heavy with wonder.

When we pray, we bring G-d into the world

What is meant, however, is a higher category than being: the power of maintaining being.

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

The supremacy of expediency is being refuted by time and truth.

How embarrassing for man to be the greatest miracle on earth and not to understand it!

God is either of no importance, or of supreme importance.

Those who are open to the wonder will not miss it. Faith is found in solicitude for faith, in an inner care for the wonder that is everywhere.

Life is not meaningful…unle ss it is serving an end beyond itself; unless it is of value to someone else.

Worship is a way of seeing the world in the light of God.

(People) can never attain fulfillment, or sense of meaning, unless it is shared, unless it pertains to other human beings.

It is the beginning of wisdom to be amazed at the fact of our being free.

All events are secretly interrelated; the sweep of all we are doing reaches beyond the horizon of our comprehension.

The world of things we perceive is but a veil. It’s flutter is music, its ornament science, but what it conceals is inscrutable.

In prayer we shift the center of living from self-consciousness to self-surrender

Many people have equated my tidying method with minimalism, but it’s quite different.

Life balance is a myth. It’s an illusion and the very pursuit of it is driving us crazy. For me it’s about proportion – it’s really a work hard/play hard equation.

And an equation is the same whether it’s written in red or green ink.

You can’t be afraid of getting old. Old is good, if you’re gathering in life. Our band is good at understanding that equation.

I am an emotional equation, continually miscalculation, escalation, you should be elated!

Life is and will ever remain an equation incapable of solution, but it contains certain known factors.

Today’s scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.

Life is and will ever remain an equation incapable of solution, but it contains certain known factors.
