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

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.

We do not step out of the world when we pray; we merely see the world in a different setting.

Is not self-sufficiency itself insufficient to explain self-sufficiency?

When we start to suffer, it tells us something very valuable. It means that we are not seeing the truth, and we are not relating from the truth. It’s a beautiful pointer. It never fails.

I quit seeing some people who were saying bad things about women; I don’t even want to meet them or see them.

What we see, we see and seeing is changing

Re-vision — the act of looking back, of seeing with fresh eyes, of entering an old text from a new critical direction – is for women more than a chapter in cultural history: it is an act of survival.

I have been seeing it for a long time and I am living my dream.

We have no interest in seeing an unstable Yemen or seeing a Yemen that is devastated.

People love seeing people trying to change stuff.

I’m not gonna fall. I’m tired of falling. I’m tired of seeing our people fall. I don’t believe in failure.
