I like the religion that teaches liberty, equality and fraternity.
I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, He can work through anyone.
While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.
The great obstacle to the conversion of the modern world is the belief that religion has no intellectual significance; that it may be good for morals and satisfying to man's emotional needs, but that it corresponds to no objective reality.
I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains.

I, for one, thoroughly believe that no power in the universe can withhold from anyone anything they really deserve.

What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul.

You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
I have been a seeker and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars. I started listening to the teaching of my Soul.
How can the heart travel to God, when it is chained by its desires?
By God, when you see your beauty you will be the idol of yourself.
Silence, I discover, is something you can actually hear.
I defy anyone to imagine an environment more exquisitely designed to provide us with opportunities for spiritual growth than this life of ours.
