My grandpa was a preacher.
Dolly PartonEvery man prefers belief to the exercise of judgment.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaThere is nothing so pitiful as a young cynic because he has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.
Maya AngelouI do believe in God. But you won’t find me visiting temples every now and then. I believe in self-realization. Peace of mind matters a lot to me. What’s the point in doing something just for the sake of it? I’d rather do something I like doing as long as I’m being true to myself.

So now education is universal, so we have to sort of find ways and means through education system, from kindergarten up to university level, to make awareness these good things, the values, inner values.
Dalai LamaI do think there must be some kind of interaction between your living life and the life that goes on from here.

Pierre Teilhard de ChardinWe see God face to face every hour, and know the savor of Nature.
Ralph Waldo EmersonPrayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

John MuirPrayer doesn’t just change things – it changes us. If we are diligent in seeking God, slowly and surely we become better people.
Joyce MeyerI believe enlightenment or revelation comes in daily life. I look for joy, the peace of action. You need action. I’d have stopped writing years ago if it were for the money.
