Spirituality proverbs

◆ Make your own Bible. Select and collect all the words and sentences that in all your readings have been to you like the blast of a trumpet.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson99

◆ I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong.

- John Lennon99

◆ Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.

- Carl Sagan99

◆ No woman wants to be in submission to a man who isn't in submission to God!

- T.D. Jakes99

◆ You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.

- Anne Lamott99

◆ The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty -- it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There's a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.

- Mother Teresa99

◆ Have you ever lost yourself in a kiss? I mean pure psychedelic inebriation. Not just lustful petting but transcendental metamorphosis when you became aware that the greatness of this being was breathing into you. Licking the sides and corners of your mouth, like sealing a thousand fleshy envelopes filled with the essence of your passionate being and then opened by the same mouth and delivered back to you, over and over again - the first kiss of the rest of your life. A kiss that confirms that the universe is aligned, that the world's greatest resource is love, and maybe even that God is a woman. With or without a belief in God, all kisses are metaphors decipherable by allocations of time, circumstance, and understanding

- Saul Williams99

◆ The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery.

- Ana?s Nin99

◆ A single day is enough to make us a little larger or, another time, a little smaller.

- Paul Klee99

◆ Forgive the past. It is over. Learn from it and let go. People are constantly changing and growing. Do not cling to a limited, disconnected, negative image of a person in the past. See that person now. Your relationship is always alive and changing.

- Brian L. Weiss99

◆ When you do what you fear most, then you can do anything.

- Stephen Richards99

◆ The moment God is figured out with nice neat lines and definitions, we are no longer dealing with God.

- Rob Bell99

◆ How hurtful it can be to deny one's true self and live a life of lies just to appease others.

- June Ahern99

◆ It takes three to make love, not two: you, your spouse, and God. Without God people only succeed in bringing out the worst in one another. Lovers who have nothing else to do but love each other soon find there is nothing else. Without a central loyalty life is unfinished.

- Fulton J. Sheen99

◆ A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, and must empty ourselves. Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in his love than in your weakness.

- Mother Teresa99
